00:00:01,070 --> 00:00:05,070


2
00:00:05,070 --> 00:00:09,070
2018 was the fourth hottest year on record.

3
00:00:09,070 --> 00:00:13,000


4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,070
Earth has been warming up for decades.

5
00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:21,070


6
00:00:21,070 --> 00:00:25,000


7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
The last five years are the hottest five years on record…

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,070


9
00:00:33,070 --> 00:00:37,070
And the last four were all more than 1 degree Celsius

10
00:00:37,070 --> 00:00:41,000
warmer than the 19th Century average.

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
A warmer climate contributes to…

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
melting polar ice and mountain glaciers,

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
rising sea levels,

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000
more severe droughts,

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
longer fire seasons.

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000


17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,070
NASA and NOAA work together to study the temperature from weather stations,

18
00:01:09,070 --> 00:01:13,070
ships and buoys in the ocean, and Antarctic research stations. 

19
00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:17,070
