PASADENA, Calif. -- Will 2010 be the warmest year on record? How do the recent U.S.
"Snowmageddon" winter storms and record low temperatures in Europe fit into the
bigger picture of long-term global warming? NASA has launched a new Web page to help
people better understand the causes and effects of Earth's changing climate.

The new "A Warming World" page hosts a series of new articles, videos, data
visualizations, space-based imagery and interactive visuals that provide unique NASA
perspectives on this topic of global importance.

The page includes feature articles that explore the recent Arctic winter weather that has
gripped the United States, Europe and Asia, and how El Nino and other longer-term
ocean-atmosphere phenomena may affect global temperatures this year and in the future.
A new video, "Piecing Together the Temperature Puzzle," illustrates how NASA satellites
monitor climate change and help scientists better understand how our complex planet
works.

The new Web page is available on NASA's Global Climate Change Web site at:
http://climate.nasa.gov/warmingworld .

The California Institute of Technology in Pasadena manages the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory for NASA.
