Skeptics of manmade climate change offer various natural causes to explain why the Earth has warmed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880. But can these account for the planet’s rising temperature? Watch to see how much different factors, both natural and industrial, contribute to global warming, based on findings from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

NASA's TSIS-1: Tracking Sun’s Power to Earth (Prelaunch Media Roll-Ins)
Read moreWe live on a solar-powered planet. As we wake up in morning, the Sun peeks out over the horizon to shed light on us, blankets us with warmth, and provides cues to start our day. At the same time, the Sun’s energy drives our planet’s ocean currents, seasons, weather, and climate. Without the Sun, life on Earth would not exist. || Total and Spectral solar Irradiance Sensor (TSIS-1) is a NASA mission that will orbit on the International Space Station in order to study the Sun's energy input to Earth and how solar variability affects climate. TSIS-1 follows the Sun, from the ISS sunrise to its sunset, which happens every 90 minutes. At sunset, it rewinds, recalibrates and waits for the next sunset. ||
