The global temperatures in 2022 were 1.6-degree Fahrenheit (0.89-degree Celsius) above the average for NASA's baseline period (1951-1980), scientists from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York reported. "This warming trend is alarming. Our warming climate is already making a mark: Forest fires are intensifying; hurricanes are getting stronger; droughts are wreaking havoc and sea levels are rising," said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. The past nine years have been the warmest since modern record-keeping began in 1880. This means that Earth in 2022 was about 2-degree Fahrenheit (or about 1.11-degree Celsius) warmer than the late 19th century average. "NASA is deepening our commitment to do our part in addressing climate change. Our Earth System Observatory will provide state-ofthe-art data to support our climate modelling, analysis and predictions to help humanity confront our planet's changing climate," Nelson added. Human-driven greenhouse gas emissions have rebounded following a short-lived dip in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. , Recently NASA scientists, as well as international scientists, determined that carbon dioxide emissions were the highest on record in 2022.NASA also identified some super-emitters of methane - another powerful greenhouse gas - using the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation instrument that was launched to the International Space Station last year.
