Storms Soak California
Unrelenting storms have inundated the state, delivering soil-saturating rain.go.nasa.gov
The release of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, from human activities is responsible for the majority of climate change. In our atmosphere, these greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, raising Earth’s temperature.
#NASAEarth
It’s not just us. Our partners at @noaa and other agencies and researchers around the world analyze the temperature records too. Their climate records show the same thing: Earth is warming significantly and rapidly.
