It may feel cold outside right now, but NASA's new climate video helps you visualize how hot Earth is getting overall
NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) created the video, which colors the Earth based on air temperatures that rose or fell compared to historic averages. In 15 seconds, the video spans over 60 years of climate data from 1950 to 2013, and by the end, Earth is covered in hues of red and orange.
The increase in greenhouse gas emissions is directly responsible for rising global temperatures. Earth's average temperature increased 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit in 63 years, reaching 58.3 degrees. Read more...
