The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced Thursday that July was the hottest month worldwide since records began being kept in 1880.The temperature in July, when averaged for all locations around the planet, was 61.86 degrees, topping the previous hottest months of July 1998 and July 2010.The vast majority of the world`s climate scientists and organizations such as NASA, NOAA, the National Academy of Sciences and the World Meteorological Organization say the planet is warming because the buildup of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere is trapping heat. The gases come from the burning of coal, gasoline and other fossil fuels.
