Nikki Jullianne Maxwell is the female protagonist of all the Dork Diaries books. She is a self-proclaimed dork and goes to Westchester Country Day on a scholarship, because her father is the school's exterminator.
Since 1976, every year including 2014 has had an average global temperature warmer than the long-term average. Over this 37-year period, temperature warmed at an average of 0.50 Â°F (0.28 Â°C) per decade over land and 0.20 Â°F (0.11 Â°C) per decade over the ocean.
Earth's atmosphere also play a vital role in regulating the temperature by providing a blanket of gases that not only protects us from excessive heat and harmful radiation from the sun, but also traps heat rising from the Earth's interior, keeping us warm. The average temperature on Earth is about 61 degrees F (16 C). But temperatures vary greatly around the world depending on the time of year, ocean and wind currents and weather conditions. Summers tend to be warmer and winters colder. Also, temperatures tend to be higher near the equator and lower near the poles. Temperature extremes
