Climate Change: NASA Reveals How Earth’s Global Temperatures Stacked Up in 2022
In 2022, Earth was about 1.11°C (2°F) warmer than the late 19th century average. Earth’s average surface temperature in 2022 tied with 2015 as the…

Runaway West Antarctic ice retreat can be slowed by climate-driven changes in ocean temperature. New research finds that ice-sheet-wide collapse in West Antarctica isn’t inevitable:…
An unrecognized effect boosts or diminishes the Pacific cold tongue, likely impacting El Niño/La Niña events and North American weather. Weather and climate modelers understand…
A new model explains that water evaporating from the Arctic Ocean due to a warming climate is transported south and can lead to increased snowfall…
Venus may have been transformed from a temperate and wet world to the acidic hothouse it is today with help from vast volcanic activity lasting…
Earth can regulate its own temperature over millennia, new research finds. Scientists have confirmed that a “stabilizing feedback” on 100,000-year timescales keeps global temperatures in…
An international coalition led by Oregon State University (OSU) researchers released a new report that says the Earth’s vital signs have reached “code red” and…
Stronger winds and warming of the upper ocean layers in the western tropical Pacific have been linked to increased rain in eastern China. A study…
Measurements from EMIT, the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation, will improve computer simulations scientists use to understand climate change. NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust…
Deep valleys buried under the seafloor of the North Sea record how the ancient ice sheets that used to cover the UK and Europe expelled…
Clouds can either cool or warm the planet’s surface, a radiative effect that contributes substantially to the global energy budget and can be altered by…
Reptiles had one heck of a coming-out party just over 250 million years ago during the end of the Permian period and the start of…
The series of heatwaves we are currently experiencing in western Europe is a clear sign of human-induced global warming. ESA’s Clement Albergel explains how we…
Water levels on the Rhine River, Europe’s second-largest river, have continued to fall due to soaring temperatures and lack of rainfall. The low water levels…
As glaciers around the world retreat due to climate change, managers of national parks need to know what’s on the horizon to prepare for the…
The Po River, the longest river in Italy, is hitting record low water levels after months without heavy rainfall. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 animation above shows…
Global warming has a particularly pronounced impact on the Alpine region. Like the Arctic, this European mountain range is becoming greener. Scientists from the University…
Researchers have finally answered a long-standing question over the role of Earth’s orbit in driving global ice age cycles. Scientists have been able to decipher…
