Climate change is the long-term, continued shifting of temperatures and weather patterns on planet Earth; an evolution driven by human activities. In the over 4.5 billion years that Earth has existed, orbiting the sun in the small stellar neighborhood we call home, our planet has gone through many changes. But humans have had a profound impact.Still, some still deny its existence to this day. So, let’s break down a few examples of studies that have built our knowledge of climate change and explore some of the scientific evidence that bolsters our growing understanding:*Note: This is just a sample of climate change research. The field of climate science includes many additional studies and pieces of “evidence.” As The economic sectors that contribute the most greenhouse gas emissions, as reported in 2020, are transportation followed by electricity, industry, commercial & residential and agriculture, While conversations about outer space often center around things like black holes, exoplanets or the search for extraterrestrial life, space is one of our most valuable resources for studying Earth and its changing climate. From the vantage point of outer space, satellites in orbit around our planet can get a uniquely comprehensive view. NASA launched the world’s first full-scale meteorological satellite, the Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS) I in 1960. Since …
