A NASA analysis released on Tuesday reveals that each of the past 12 months has set new records for average global temperatures, highlighting an alarming trend in our planet's climate.
\"It's clear we are facing a climate crisis,\" stated NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. \"Communities across the globe are feeling first-hand extreme heat in unprecedented numbers.\"
The data shows that the average global temperature over the past year was 1.30 degrees Celsius above the 20th-century baseline (1951 to 1980), underscoring the urgent need for climate action.
These consistent temperature highs reflect the intensifying effects of global warming, impacting ecosystems, weather patterns, and human communities worldwide. The record-breaking temperatures serve as a stark reminder of the pressing need to address climate change and implement sustainable practices globally.
