Sep 10, 2020 · A continuous record of the past 66 million years shows natural climate variability due to changes in Earth’s orbit around the sun is much smaller than projected future warming due to greenhouse gas emissions. For the first time, climate scientists have compiled a continuous, high-fidelity record of variations in Earth’s climate extending 66 ...
According to an ongoing temperature analysis led by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the average global temperature on Earth has increased by at least 1.1° Celsius (1.9° Fahrenheit) since 1880. The majority of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15 to 0.20°C per decade.
Jan 13, 2022 · Global temperatures in 2021 were 0.85 degrees Celsius (1.5 degrees Fahrenheit) above the average for NASA’s baseline period, according to scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). NASA uses the period from 1951-1980 as a baseline to compare how global temperatures change over time. Collectively, the past eight years ...
Sep 10, 2020 · The new global climate record CENOGRID (lower panel) is the first to continually and accurately trace how Earth's climate has changed since the great extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.
