NASA Finds 2011 Ninth-Warmest Year on Record [hd video]

Say NASA, how about making this short clip mandatory viewing for all those who can effect policy change in Washington DC? As far as I can tell the only ones still denying global warming is the Republican Congress whose pockets are being heavily lined by Big Oil. They need to know they are responsible for this, as well as those in other countries with the same attitudes.

Impressive

I wonder what that says about our oxygen-Getting increase hot air, soon can't breath.

Nice picture at the start of the new week.

Hope that you had a great weekend. Have a nice day and week.

Thanks

High amplitude singularity (shock) in climate, petroleum supply/demand, capital supply/demand (capitalism), water supply/demand, etc. As well as in all sorts of human advances... Science and Technology... Maybe medicine, although I doubt that. Sudden upticks are followed by crashes and long, slow recoveries. Singularities do not just go up forever.

"The industrial revolution was divided into two stages: the first from 1750 to 1840, and the second 1880 to 1914"
If you notice the temperature increases after the 1900 +, it makes sense that the revolution Insdustrial is a consequence of global warming which is fueled by the rampant consumerism of all.
Besides the effects begin to notice years later.

A real eye-opener for anybody Not familiar with "Global WarNing". Thank you for posting it.

:( poor mother Earth. When we'll stop that?! People Open your Eyes...Open you mind...

nós tamo fu!!!

worrying... i'm so worried...

y aunque vean mil videos mas aun no se toma conciencia del tremendo daño que causamos.... donde vamos a terminar? :(

Pheyu!

oh no temperature was 2 degrees above average in 2011 compared to 1880 lets all get scared lol. don't worry the ice age is kicking in within a thousand years, so carbon monoxide by humans (negligible compared to the earth's weight) won't be a problem anyway.

so, in my opinion, the sensitivity of difference in color makes it easy to see the small change in temperature, but people are miss-reading the information given in the video. just because everything is red doesn't mean an entire dramatic change in the earth lol.

I'm curious how they came up with temperature readings all the way back to 1895 for the whole earth, especially those in remote land areas that didn't start recording data until recently, let alone the oceans. They must have based it off of something, but for instance, I seriously doubt they had any real way of knowing the average temperature in an isolated area of the south pacific was a couple degrees above normal in 1896, which is what this video shows. Some educated guessing going on here?

Taaaaakkkkkuuuttttttt .....mari tanam pohon banyak2 lah .....

"We can determine the past climate of the Earth by mapping the distribution of ancient coals, desert deposits, tropical soils, salt deposits, glacial material, as well as the distribution of plants and animals that are sensitive to climate, such as alligators, palm trees & mangrove swamps."

Depressing....we will be going the way of dinosaurs sooner than we should. It is inevitable, thanks to collectively burying our heads in the sand. The rate of change is alarming.
