| Description |
This NASA visualization for the National Climate Assessment released on May 6 shows how average temperatures in the U.S. will increase 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century if carbon dioxide emissions continue current trends. It is based on a NOAA analysis of climate model data. The National Climate Assessment is specifically focused on providing information about the impacts of climate change on the U.S. NASA supports this effort and contributes a global perspective through its satellite missions and science. NASA scientists study global and U.S. influences on temperature, including greenhouse gases, clouds, fine particle pollution and solar activity. NASA scientists are also studying how rising temperatures in the U.S. and around the world will impact agriculture, extreme summer heat waves and public health. Increasing carbon dioxide emissions from human activities remains the primary driver of Earth’s rising temperatures. This summer NASA will launch the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2), to make continuous global measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
