00:00:01,010 --> 00:00:05,010


2
00:00:05,010 --> 00:00:09,000
2019 was the second hottest year on record.

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000


4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,010
Globally, temperatures were more than 2°F (1.11°C) warmer than the late 19th Century.

5
00:00:17,010 --> 00:00:21,000


6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,010
During the northern summer, water pooled on top of the Greenland Ice Sheet as ice melted.

00:00:29,010 --> 00:00:33,000

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Large, intense fires burned from Alaska and Siberia to Australia.

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000


11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
This continues a long-term trend of warming around the world, driven by rising greenhouse gas levels.

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,010


13
00:00:49,010 --> 00:00:53,010
The last decade was the warmest on record.

00:00:53,010 --> 00:00:57,000

00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,010
And the last five years have been the warmest five years on record.
