GLOBAL WARMING FROM 1880 TO 2022 Earth's average surface temperature in 2022 tied with 2015 as the fifth warmest on record, according to an analysis by NASA. Continuing the planet's long-term warming trend, global temperatures in 2022 were 0.89 degrees Celsius above the average for NASA's baseline period (1951–1980), scientists from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York reported. Global warming isn't uniform around the planet. The second visualization shows global tempera

Our planet is getting warmer. Every year, NASA and NOAA calculate the average surface temperature around the globe. These annual temperature data make up the global temperature record – and it’s how scientists know that the planet is warming. Red spirals in this visualization indicate years with warmer-than-average temperatures. The visualization “turns red” after 1975, showing that most of Earth’s warming has occurred in the last several decades. Overall, the average global temperature on Earth
