NASA confirms: this July was the hottest month on record.🌡️go.nasa.gov/3qwsszU

Our record starts in 1880, when consistent global recordkeeping became possible. It shows an undeniable pattern of increasing global temperatures, primarily from human emissions of carbon dioxide.

This month, scientists from @nasa, @NOAA, and several universities are measuring air pollution in U.S. megacities!

NASA’s STAQS mission is studying air quality from sidewalk to satellite. The @noaa AEROMMA project is measuring atmospheric chemistry.

Is climate change the same as global warming? Not quite.

The warming of Earth — or global warming — is just one factor that makes up a range of changes that are happening to our planet, which is climate change.

And @nasa is studying all of it: climate.nasa.gov/
