    Just because it's cold for a day, a week, or a season, it doesn't mean global warming is over. All months have been warming since recordkeeping began in 1880, including December. The main cause: human activities. Stay tuned next month for the Dec. 2022 data point.

    Unofficial records suggest that in recent days the global average temperature was the warmest that has ever been directly measured. What does that mean? 🧵
    A red and blue map of the world. The colors represent the amount of heat radiating away from Earth, as measured by satellite. Red colors indicate warm temperatures, and the blue areas are clouds. This is called “brightness temperature.” Most of the map is light red. The southwestern United States, northern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and much of Asia are dark red. The image was captured by the NASA/NOAA Suomi NPP satellite on July 5, 2023.

    NASA confirms this summer was the hottest summer since 1880 when modern recordkeeping began. This continues a long-term trend of rising temperatures caused by human activities. go.nasa.gov/3rfIjDk

    Carbon dioxide is giving Earth a jolt! Did you know there’s about 400 parts per million (ppm) of caffeine in coffee? There's over 400 ppm of CO₂ in our atmosphere today. If you've felt the surge of caffeine hitting your system, you've experienced the effects of just 400 ppm.
    Graphic looks down on a cup of coffee, with Planet Earth as the “coffee.” To the right of the coffee cup is the text “Can you tell the difference between caffeinated coffee and decaf?” Below the coffee cup is the text “If so, you have detected a concentration of 400 parts per million (ppm). There’s more than 400 ppm of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere.” It follows with bold text saying “Small amounts of powerful substances have big effects.”

    Warm ocean waters due to human-caused climate change helped fuel Hurricane #Milton to become a powerful Category 5 storm. Sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico were well above average for this time of year as Milton churned toward Florida. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/153429/…

    July 22, 2024 was the hottest day on record. Average global temperatures for July 21 & 23 also exceeded the previous record. The preliminary finding comes from @NASA atmospheric models that combine millions of land, sea, air & satellite observations. go.nasa.gov/3WHVZDW
    Data visualization of monthly temperatures over time. The X-axis shows months of the year and the Y-axis shows temperature in degrees Celsius, running from below 12 to above 17. A thick section of lines in white indicates data from the years 1980 to 2022. A pink line that rises above the white lines represents the year 2023. And crisscrossing but mostly above that is a red line representing 2024 through June, with the month of July marked in purple, rising above everything else, to above 17 degrees Celsius.

    Sea levels around the world are rising as a result of human-caused global warming. Overall, global sea levels have risen about 10 centimeters from 1993 to 2023. #WorldOceansDay go.nasa.gov/3VuV88X

    #ICYMI, Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano, is erupting after a 38-year pause! 🌋 This animation shows a plume of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) coming from the volcano and traveling across the Pacific Ocean over the following 3 days. Read on for the climate implications ⬇️
