Los The last 9 years have registered the highest temperatures known in the history of mankind, according to a recent NASA interagency study which is titled “NASA Climate Strategy Advance” and that was published on its official website.
“The last nine years have been the hottest ever recorded. That is simply an indisputable fact, which underscores the need for a bold action to protect our planet”; said the administrator of said entity Bill Nelson.
“NASA’s Climate Strategy is a statement of our ongoing commitment to lead on climate, and how we intend to do so.”, added the scientist.
With several missions that will take place throughout this year with the aim of study air pollution (Tempo), the water of the Earthrra to help improve climate models (Swot) and the increase in storm intensity (Tropics), the observations of planet Earth promoted by NASA are focused, fundamentally, on how to study the serious effects that climate change is causing throughout the world.
“The Earth’s climate and system are changingand this affects not only the science we need, but also the way we think about our operations and mission safety,” he said. Kate Calvin, NASA’s chief scientist and senior climate advisor.
“This strategy will help NASA integrate our weather understandingthroughout the agency and in our associations to better serve the public”, added the specialist
The study also focuses on improve the accessibility and usability of climate and Earth science informationwhile affirming that both the inhabitants of the pueblos costeros who want to know more about their changing shorelines, such as people who live in areas highly vulnerable to forest fires or in cities with a lot smog can benefit from NASA observations and models to help plan for the future and prepare in the best way to respond to climate change.
“Rather than providing information, one of NASA’s goals is always inspire and educate. As we make our Earth observations accessible to the world, we also look to encourage and train the next generation of climate researchers,” added Calvin.
“By studying Earth as a system, from a variety of viewpoints and through many different instruments and scientific fields, NASA’s integrated approach is key to better understand our home planet. And understanding it gives us the means to better protect it”, concluded the NASA scientist.
