Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system, which is closely watched by scientists from different countries. Over the past 100 years, the average air temperature has increased by 0.74 degrees Celsius, and the rate of warming has increased rapidly since 1980. This 30-second video shows how the temperature on Earth has changed over the past 135 years.
This phenomenon carries with it a number of consequences. Global warming leads to an increase in the level of the World Ocean (about 0.5 meters in 100 years), as well as to changes in the distribution and amount of precipitation. The rate of melting of the Arctic ice is about 600 thousand square kilometers in ten years. Crop yields are declining in Africa, Asia and Latin America, but yields are increasing in developed countries. The habitats of biological species are shifting closer to the polar zones, and the likelihood of extinction of numerous species inhabiting coastal zones and on islands is sharply increasing.
This video was prepared by NASA specialists, and it demonstrates to us in a very visual form what humanity has done with its planet over the past few decades. As a result of the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, 2015 was the hottest year since the late 19th century. It's easy to imagine what awaits us all next, but how to deal with all this is not a question of one million dollars.
