New York Times : The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has joined NASA and the Japan Meteorological Agency in reporting that each of the first three months of 2016 saw record-high temperatures that surpassed the previous records set during those months in 2015. March was also the 11th straight month to set a new monthly record. The warming has been tied to an extremely strong El Niño combined with the effects of climate change. The report from NOAA comes as the nations that agreed to the Paris climate agreement last year are meeting to formally sign the pact.
