Or that's the version we were told, anyway. The teenagers were called Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, and their school was Columbine High, an idyllic sounding place nestled between the Denver metropolitan area and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
This is because the amount of sunlight the reaches the equator changes very little, although the temperatures do vary somewhat during the rainy season. Measurement: The average surface temperature on Earth is approximately 14Â°C; but as already noted, this varies.
The global average (land and ocean) surface temperature shows a warming of 0.85 [0.65 to 1.06] Â°C in the period 1880 to 2012, based on multiple independently produced datasets. Earth's average surface temperature rose by 7002273890000000000â 0.74Â±0.18 Â°C over the period 1906â2005.lthough the increase of near-surface atmospheric temperature is the measure of global warming often reported in the popular press, most of the additional energy stored in the climate system since 1970 has gone into ocean warming. The remainder has melted ice, and warmed the continents and atmosphere.
