2017 was the second hottest year since 1880, when global measurements first became possible.

2

00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,090

3

00:00:08,090 --> 00:00:12,100

4

00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:16,100

This continues a decades-long trend of global warming.

5

00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:20,120

6

00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,140

As the global climate continues to warm, polar ice melts,

00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:28,160

sea levels rise, and fire seasons burn hotter and longer.

00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,210

00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:36,220

10

00:00:36,220 --> 00:00:40,220

NASA continues to monitor Earth's temperature and its effects on weather and climate,

00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:44,240

12

00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,240

to better understand our home planet as an interconnected system.
