Even in winter, scientists found meltwater running off the Greenland ice sheet, according to a new @NASA_Ice funded study: cires.colorado.edu/news/greenland…

@LThaey @NASAEarth The loss from Greenland and Antarctica's ice sheets resulted in half an inch of global sea level rise between 2003-2019

Volcanic activity has shaped Greenland and Antarctica, but it's not to blame for today's rapidly melting polar ice sheets. Learn why. climate.nasa.gov/blog/2982/fire…

Even in China’s largest, driest, and hottest desert, vegetation sprouts in the spring. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/146660/…

@BreadMosley The opposite. Each kg of CO2 released contributes to about 15 kg of ice melt from Mountain glaciers. Every minute, we emit enough CO2 to add another five gallons of water to the oceans through glacial ice melt. Burning fossil fuels raises sea levels. advances.sciencemag.org/content/1/8/e1…

We don’t think it’s a coincidence that the largest fossil fuel funder has the grandfather of climate denial at its helm. You can help give him the boot once and for all! #DumpLeeRaymond act.ucsusa.org/2ylNh5C

@NASASun We’re grateful for our one Sun ☀️, which helps allow for more stable climates, right @NASASolarSystem?

Germany may be heading toward its third summer of drought in a row due to high temperatures and sparse precipitation. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/146647/…

Researchers are using temperature data from @USGS/@NASA_Landsat-8 to better understand how changes in temperature affect bird species across the U.S.

Quiz time! Trees 🌲🌳🌴 play a critical role in regulating Earth's climate. What can their rings tell us? a. a tree's age b. the weather conditions during each year of a tree's life c. both a and b Not sure? Read "The Short Answer" at the link below. climatekids.nasa.gov/tree-rings/

As temperatures rise, water heats up, and #CoralBleaching risks increase. But what exactly does that mean? This infographic explains. go.usa.gov/xvR6d

We have updated our "vital sign" dashboard with the latest sea level data, as measured from space 🛰️ climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/se…

Unbelievable: The administration is attempting to remove environmental protections from 1/2 of the nation’s wetlands and 1/5 of streams and tributary headwaters by publishing its Navigable Waters Protection Rule in the Federal Register. act.ucsusa.org/2W0jIPa

Question: How do we know what greenhouse gas and temperature levels were in the distant past? Answer: Ice cores (cylindrical ice samples) are scientists’ best source for historical climate data. Other tools include tree rings, corals and sediment cores. climate.nasa.gov/faq/20/how-do-…

Awesome to see two UCS climate scientists included on this #EarthDay list. Dr. @climategeek and Dr. Rachel Licker are both impressive science communicators - and are in good company! Lets heed their advice and continue to hold government accountable and prepare for the future.

"Instead of bailing out companies that contribute the most to climate change, our economic recovery efforts should address this existing challenge by emphasizing solutions like #CleanEnergy and #EnergyEfficiency." Here are 3 programs that can help do that. act.ucsusa.org/2XTy9aif

When ice melts in Greenland, it can have significant effects in places far away, like Louisiana, where people live and work right at sea level. For nearly 3 decades, @NASA has been monitoring how our warming climate is raising sea levels. #EarthDayAtHome go.nasa.gov/2RULfR1

For years, NASA has used satellites🛰️ to study melting ice🧊 on our home planet🌍, and tracking how much that contributes to sea level rise 🌊 What questions do you have for our scientists studying Earth's changing glaciers and ice sheets? #AskNASA
