    Before exploring the resources, you might want to look at this short video from NASA (Published on Jan 20, 2016). This visualization illustrates Earth’s long-term warming trend, showing temperature changes from 1880 to 2015 as a rolling five-year average. Orange colors represent temperatures that are warmer than the 1951-80 baseline average, while blues represent temperatures cooler than the baseline.
