NASA Climate Change

NASA Climate Change research highlights how human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, increase greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, causing global temperatures to rise—a phenomenon known as global warming. This warming leads to climate shifts, including more intense storms, rising sea levels, and changing weather patterns. NASA uses satellites and climate models to monitor these changes, improving understanding and informing policy. Addressing climate change requires reducing emissions, transitioning to cleaner energy sources, and protecting ecosystems, ensuring a sustainable future for the planet.
