Hi there. I'm Jeremy Werdell and I'm an ocean scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight

2
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:08,190
Center. I study how the ocean are changing as we see rising levels of carbon

3
00:00:08,210 --> 00:00:12,300
dioxide in the atmosphere. Now the oceans are doing us a huge a favor

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,430
they soak up about half to a third of all the carbon dioxide

5
00:00:16,450 --> 00:00:20,490
that man puts into our atmosphere, but they're very, very sensitive

6
00:00:20,510 --> 00:00:24,540
to rising atmospheric temperatures. Fortunately we have a number of great tools

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,620
for measuring this greenhouse gas including the new Orbiting Carbon Observatory

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,750
2. It's really, really helping us better understand how this 

9
00:00:32,770 --> 00:00:35,249
greenhouse gas is warming the Earth.
