00:00:11.378 --> 00:00:12.879
The data from NASA and

2
00:00:12.879 --> 00:00:16.883
NOAA's global temperature
report is confirming

3
00:00:16.950 --> 00:00:21.354
what billions of people around
the world were feeling.

4
00:00:21.421 --> 00:00:25.025
2023 was the hottest year on record.

5
00:00:25.091 --> 00:00:29.129
In fact,
the last decade has been the warmest

6
00:00:29.129 --> 00:00:33.700
on record since modern record
keeping began.

7
00:00:33.767 --> 00:00:35.402
And the proof is in the pudding.

8
00:00:35.402 --> 00:00:40.673
From extreme heat
to wildfires to rising sea levels,

9
00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:50.350
we can see that our planet is changing.

10
00:00:50.417 --> 00:00:55.288
We are facing a climate crisis,
and it is our responsibility

11
00:00:55.355 --> 00:00:58.358
to help people understand and address

12
00:00:58.358 --> 00:01:01.594
the impacts of climate change.

13
00:01:01.661 --> 00:01:04.531
And I want you to know,
when you look out the window

14
00:01:04.531 --> 00:01:09.602
of the spacecraft orbiting the Earth
every 90 minutes,

15
00:01:09.669 --> 00:01:13.173
you look at the rim of the earth
and you can see that

16
00:01:13.173 --> 00:01:17.310
thin film that we call our atmosphere.

17
00:01:17.377 --> 00:01:20.814
And that's what sustains all of our life.
