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

00:00:12.100 --> 00:00:16.100
This continues a decades-long trend of global warming.

00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:24.140
As the global climate continues to warm, polar ice melts,

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

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.
