Watch 60 Years of Global Warming in 15 Seconds
Anyone still not convinced?
NASA has released a new visualization showing how global temperatures have risen since 1950. It’s pretty much what you’d expect given that the level of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is currently higher than at any time in the last 800,000 years.
This visualization was put together by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). The group, which analyzes global surface temperatures on an ongoing basis, just released a rather sobering report on temperatures around the globe in 2013.
NASA says 2013 is now tied with 2009 and 2006 for the seventh warmest year since 1880. So, discounting 1998, the ten warmest years in the 134-year record have all occurred since 2000, with 2010 and 2005 ranking as the warmest years on record.
