The heating influence of all human-produced greenhouse gases was 49 percent higher in 2022 than it was in 1990.
Since 1979, the extent of ice covering the Arctic Ocean at the end of summer has shrunk by more than 40 percent.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide has risen more than 50 percent since people began burning fossil fuels for energy.
The glaciers in a key reference network lost an average thickness of 94 feet between 1970 and 2023 (preliminary data).
The ocean is storing 91% of the excess heat from global warming, contributing to sea level rise, ice shelf retreat, and stress on marine life.
Sea level has risen between 8 and 9 inches since 1880. The rate of sea level rise more than doubled from 2006–2015 compared to the rate throughout most of the twentieth century.
Since 1967, spring snow cover has shrunk by 1.4 percent per decade in April, 4.1 percent per decade in May, and 12.9 percent per decade in June.
The sun’s total brightness varies by an average of 0.1 percent over an 11-year cycle, but there has been very little net change over the last century.
Global average surface temperature has risen 0.14 degrees Fahrenheit per decade since 1880. The rate of warming has more than doubled since 1981.
