Did you know that scientific data overwhelmingly supports the existence of global warming? It’s a fact that cannot be ignored. This compelling evidence should make us even more concerned about the urgency to act on this important issue.
According to NASA, “the average global temperature has been rising for the past century. The evidence for this warming comes from multiple sources, including direct temperature measurements, changes in ocean temperatures, melting glaciers and ice sheets, rising sea levels, and changes in precipitation patterns.”
Here’s a visualization of 140 years of global temperature data by NASA:
The graph shows a clear upward trend in global temperatures, with the most recent decade being the warmest on record. This warming is primarily caused by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, causing the planet to warm.
