2016 marked the hottest year on record, continuing a decades-long warming trend. Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analyzed global measurements, confirming Earth’s average surface temperature has risen approximately 2.0°F (1.1°C) since the late 19th century.

This significant temperature increase is largely attributed to human emissions into the atmosphere.

We can’t imagine Yellowstone without wolves, the Everglades without alligators, or the U.S. without bald eagles. A world without wildlife is unthinkable.

Independent analyses by NASA and NOAA confirm that Earth's global surface temperatures in 2019 ranked as the second-warmest since 1880. Temperatures were 2°F (1.1°C) warmer than the late 19th century, second only to 2016.

This data continues the planet's long-term warming trend, with the five warmest years on instrumental record all occurring in the last five years. More information is available at NASA's press release.

Oil extraction in the Amazon is devastating the rainforest, climate, and indigenous communities. While often overlooked, the Amazon is a significant source of crude oil, much of which is consumed

Oil extraction in the Amazon is devastating the rainforest, climate, and indigenous communities. While often overlooked, the Amazon is a significant source of crude oil, much of which is consumed in the United States. This drilling occurs in the world's most biodiverse rainforest, a vital carbon sink and home to over 400 distinct indigenous peoples.

Amazonian peoples and scientists agree: this oil must remain in the ground to protect the planet and avert catastrophic climate change. Amazon Watch supports indigenous allies by advocating for respect for their rights and territories. Based on their "FROM WELL TO WHEEL" report, they urge companies, universities, and governments to adopt Amazon-free fuel sources.
