By Andrea Thompson, Climate Central November 15, Live Science There is still 2 months left of 2016, however scientist have recorded 2016 to be the hottest year on record. This year 2016 of the 17 hottest years in the books recorded in this century, the only exception being the intense El Niño year of 1998 has been the hottest year. Global temperatures in both 2015 and 2016 were al little bit higher from a strong El Niño, but the heat has built up in the atmosphere over decades, trapped by ever-rising levels of greenhouse gases. 2016 has record-high carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and record-low Arctic sea ice levels during many months of this year. Negotiators in Morocco are concerned about the election of Donald Trump derailing the international climate action that has been taken place. He has promised to pull the U.S. out of the Paris agreement and also to dismantle the Clean Power Plan, which is aimed at reducing domestic greenhouse gas emissions. The more our growing population emits green house gasses the hotter every year is going to be getting every year is getting hotter and hotter. It is an increasing global temperature that is slowly rising. Our population try's to limit the emission of green house gases, however it is not enough with only a small percentage actually reducing their carbon footprint. There is also a percent of our population that is ignorant, and does not take the emission of green house gasses seriously. They do not think it is harmful to our environment, however over time this will degrate our environment much more, if action is not taken soon. With the election of a new president that does not believe in global warming it is going to be difficult to reduce the emissions of green house gasses.
