The data from NASA and
NOAA's global temperature report is confirming
what billions of people around the world were feeling.
2023 was the hottest year on record.
In fact, the last decade has been the warmest
on record since modern record keeping began.
And the proof is in the pudding.
From extreme heat to wildfires to rising sea levels,
we can see that our planet is changing.
We are facing a climate crisis, and it is our responsibility
to help people understand and address
the impacts of climate change.
And I want you to know, when you look out the window
of the spacecraft orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes,
you look at the rim of the earth and you can see that
thin film that we call our atmosphere.
And that's what sustains all of our life.
