NASA's Kate Calvin talks about how humans are changing Earth

Kate Calvin is NASA 's Chief scientist and senior climate advisor.

She explains how humans are changing Earth using a NASA perspective.

The last nine years have been the warmest since modern record keeping began.

We're seeing more warming over land than over ocean and more in higher latitudes than lower latitudes.

The increases that we're seeing in temperature are leading to climate change impacts all around the world.

And I want in the next few slides to walk through some of the impacts we are seeing and what we might expect in the future with increased warming.

This information is made publicly available so people can use it to inform what's happening where they live and take steps to address those emissions.

NASA is a science and technology agency that responds to climate change.

We have a team, an aeronautics team, that has been working for decades with the aviation industry to reduce the environmental impact of flying.

They're also looking at how they can use some of their research and their tools to help address some of the impacts of climate change. Everything we do at NASA is open source.
