北極較其他地區升溫三倍
According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the year 2019 was the world’s second warmest year, and the past decade was the hottest on record.
根據美國太空總署以及海洋暨大氣總署，2019年是史上第二溫暖的一年，而過去十年則是史上最熱。

Based on data collected at over 20,000 weather stations around the globe, the analysis by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) shows that global temperatures in 2019 were the second-highest in history, second only to those recorded in 2016 by a mere 0.07 degrees Fahrenheit.
根據全球2萬多個氣象站所搜集的數據，NASA的戈達德太空研究所指出2019的全球溫度是史上第二高，比最高溫的2016年只低了0.07華氏度。

In fact, “the decade that just ended is clearly the warmest decade on record,” said GISS Director Gavin Schmidt.
而事實上，戈達德太空研究所的主任施密特也指出：「剛結束的這十年顯然從歷史上看來是溫度最高的，
“Every decade since the 1960s clearly has been warmer than the one before,” he added.
從1960開始的每十年都比前一個還要溫暖。」
Likewise, NOAA scientists revealed in their research that the 2019 temperatures were 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century average, and the past five years were the warmest since record-keeping began in 1880.
同樣地，海洋暨大氣總署研究顯示2019年的溫度比20世紀的平均溫度還要高出1.7華氏度，而過去5年則是從1880年有記錄以來溫度最高的。

This observation has gained support from other institutions, such as the Berkeley Earth research group and the Met Office Hadley Centre (UK), whose records show roughly the same peaks and valleys on the plot.
這樣的觀察結果獲得其他相關機構的支持，包含柏克萊地球分析組織和英國氣象局哈德利中心，他們的研究結果顯示出大略一致的趨勢。

According to the NOAA study, the 2019 mean temperature in the adjacent 48 states of the US was the 34th highest on record, whereas temperatures in the Arctic region rose more than three times faster than elsewhere.
根據海洋暨大氣總署的研究，2019年美國本土48州的平均溫度僅是史上第34高溫，而北極地區的溫度上升速度相較於其他地區快了3倍以上。
