NASA's Global Climate Change
NASA’s Global Climate Change program monitors Earth's climate system, focusing on how factors like greenhouse gases, temperature, and sea levels are changing over time. Human activities, especially burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have increased greenhouse gases, trapping more heat in the atmosphere. This leads to global warming, which causes melting ice, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather events. NASA uses satellite data and scientific research to understand these changes, inform policies, and raise awareness about the importance of addressing climate change to protect our planet’s future.
