- Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet
Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates These changes have a broad range of observed effects that are synonymous with the term

Current news and data streams about global warming and climate change from NASA Climate Time Machine This series of visualizations shows how some of Earth's key climate indicators are changing over time
- The Study of Earth as an Integrated System - Climate Change: Vital . . .
Current news and data streams about global warming and climate change from NASA Earth system science is the study of how scientific data stemming from various fields of research, such as the atmosphere, oceans, land ice and others, fit together to form the current picture of our changing climate
- Responding to Climate Change - Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet
Responding to climate change involves two possible approaches: reducing and stabilizing the levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (“mitigation”) and adapting to the climate change already in the pipeline (“adaptation”)
- Methane - Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet
Methane (CH 4) is a powerful greenhouse gas, and is the second-largest contributor to climate warming after carbon dioxide (CO 2) A molecule of methane traps more heat than a molecule of CO 2 , but methane has a relatively short lifespan of 7 to 12 years in the atmosphere, while CO 2 can persist for hundreds of years or more
- Evidence | Facts – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet
Earth-orbiting satellites and new technologies have helped scientists see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate all over the world These data, collected over many years, reveal the signs and patterns of a changing climate
