Over the past year of record-shattering warmth, the average person on Earth experienced 26 more days of abnormally high temperatures than they otherwise would have, were it not for human-induced climate change, scientists said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The past 12 months have been the planet\u2019s hottest ever measured, and the burning of fossil fuels, which has added huge amounts of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere, is a major reason. Nearly 80 percent of the world\u2019s population experienced at least 31 days of atypical warmth since last May as a result of human-caused warming, the researchers\u2019 analysis found.<\/p>\n

Hypothetically, had we not heated the globe to its current state<\/a>, the number of unusually warm days would have been far fewer, the scientists estimated, using mathematical modeling of the global climate.<\/p>\n

The precise difference varies place to place. In some countries, it is just two or three weeks, the researchers found. In others, including Colombia, Indonesia and Rwanda, the difference is upward of 120 days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
