The Sun's average brightness varies over time, and the changes can affect global surface temperature. But long-term changes over the period of human-caused global warming are minimal.
The amount of sea ice that survives the Arctic summer has declined by 13 percent per decade since the start of the 43-year satellite record.
Sea level has risen 8-9 inches since 1880, and the rate is accelerating thanks to glacier and ice sheet melt.
In the past 60 years, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased 100 times faster than it did during the end of the last ice age.
Earth's surface temperature in 2021 was 1.87 °Fahrenheit warmer than the 20th-century average.
