“We see increases in sea level which effects our coastal communities.  We’re seeing changes in extreme events, we’re seeing more heavy precipitation events, more droughts, more heat waves, stronger storms and more wildfires and longer wildfire seasons.   And these are affecting people all around the world.”

NASA and NOAA have added new satellite technology to monitor what is happening on the planet.   For more…head to climate.nasa.gov.
