Jeremy Werdell: Carbon and Climate Soundbite
Read moreJeremy Werdell, oceanographer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, discusses the importance of microscopic plankton in the global carbon cycle. With his colleagues, Jeremy is working to answer important questions about how much carbon dioxide the oceans are absorbing, and how that might change in the future.For complete transcript, click here.Music credit: Molecular by Mark Hawkins || Jeremy Werdell is studying how microscopic plankton in the oceans are responding to our changing climate. As a scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, he knows that Earth's oceans and land cover have been doing us a favor. As people burn fossil fuels and clear forests, only half of the carbon dioxide released stays in the atmosphere, warming and altering Earth’s climate. The other half is removed from the air by the planet’s vegetation ecosystems and oceans. But Jeremy and other scientists are still trying to answer important questions about how carbon dioxide emissions get absorbed by the land and the ocean — and how this could change in the future. Later this month, the United Nations climate meeting in Paris (Conference of Parties, aka COP-21) will focus on setting limits on future levels of human-produced carbon emissions. ||

Carbon Cycle Live Shots
Read morePromo video featuring Dr. Carlos Del Castillo || Carbon dioxide is vital for life on Earth, but an overload of the greenhouse gas is driving one of the most serious problems facing our planet: climate change. With NASA’s fleet of satellites including NASA’s new experimental Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2), scientists now have a more complete picture of how Earth is changing as carbon dioxide levels rise.Join NASA scientists on Friday, Nov. 20th from 6:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. EST and again from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST to see NASA’s first-ever global view tracking carbon dioxide levels all the way from the top of the atmosphere to Earth’s surface. Find out how these results are helping us understand how humans are changing the climate, and what it means for our future. Rising levels of carbon dioxide, which acts as a blanket trapping heat in our atmosphere, are already causing major changes to our climate -- from rising sea levels to the fact that 10 of the warmest years on record happened in the last 15 years.For more information see:"A Breathing Planet, Off Balance."Additional videos of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite. ||

George Hurtt: Carbon and Climate Soundbite
Read moreGeorge Hurtt, professor at University of Maryland, gives information on NASA's Carbon Monitoring System in advance of the United Nations COP-21 climate meeting in Paris, 2015For complete transcript, click here.Music credit: Rippling Rays by Jon Wygens || Earth’s land and ocean currently absorb about half of all carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, but it’s uncertain whether the planet can keep this up in the future. NASA’s Earth science program works to improve our understanding of how carbon absorption and emission processes work in nature and how they could change in a warming world with increasing levels of carbon dioxide and methane emissions from human activities. Later this month, the United Nations climate meeting in Paris (Conference of Parties, aka COP-21) will focus on setting limits on future levels of human-produced carbon emissions. NASA hosted a media teleconference at noon EST on Thursday, Nov. 12, to discuss the latest insights into how Earth is responding to rising levels of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, and what this means for our future climate.This video features George Hurtt, lead for NASA’s Carbon Monitoring System, and professor at University of Maryland, discussing the key points he delivered on the telecon. ||
