Vital Signs of the Planet Evidence. The Earths climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 6. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earths orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives. World Aeronautical Charts Noaa' title='World Aeronautical Charts Noaa' />Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely greater than 9. Earth orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. This body of data, collected over many years, reveals the signals of a changing climate. The heat trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases was demonstrated in the mid 1. Their ability to affect the transfer of infrared energy through the atmosphere is the scientific basis of many instruments flown by NASA. There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause the Earth to warm in response. Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that the Earths climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels. Ancient evidence can also be found in tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks. This ancient, or paleoclimate, evidence reveals that current warming is occurring roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice age recovery warming. The evidence for rapid climate change is compelling Global temperature rise. The planets average surface temperature has risen about 2. Fahrenheit 1. 1 degrees Celsius since the late 1. Most of the warming occurred in the past 3. Not only was 2. 01. January through September, with the exception of June were the warmest on record for those respective months.

Glaciers are retreating almost everywhere around the world including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa. Image The disappearing snowcap of Mount Kilimanjaro, from space. Decreased snow cover. Satellite observations reveal that the amount of spring snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere has decreased over the past five decades and that the snow is melting earlier. Sea level rise. Global sea level rose about 8 inches in the last century. The rate in the last two decades, however, is nearly double that of the last century.

Bridge images Earths polar ice in unprecedented detail to better understand processes that connect the polar regions with the global climate system. The number of record high temperature events in the United States has been increasing, while the number of record low temperature events has been decreasing, since 1. The U. S. has also witnessed increasing numbers of intense rainfall events. The official website for NASAs fleet of Earth science missions that study rainfall and other types precipitation around the globe. Earths water is stored in ice and snow, lakes and rivers, the atmosphere and the oceans. How much do you know about how water is cycled around our planet and the crucial role it plays in our climate Ocean acidification. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 3. This increase is the result of humans emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and hence more being absorbed into the oceans. The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the upper layer of the oceans is increasing by about 2 billion tons per year.
