ALT Graphic shows Planet Earth in the upper right corner with a global temperature data overlay (yellow and red = warmer, blue and white = cooler). It shows warming in North and South America and in the mid-latitudes. Warming Earth is wearing a dark puffy coat, making it even warmer. To the left of Planet Earth is large, bold text reading "Carbon dioxide traps heat, like a puffy coat." Below Planet Earth and the large, bold text is smaller text reading "Humans have increased the amount of CO₂ in our atmosphere by 50% since 1750. We've made Earth's insulating 'puffy coat' thicker than it's been in millions of years. As a result, our climate is warming rapidly." The text "our climate is warming rapidly" is in a shade of red. The graphic’s background is a light red, yellow, and white gradient. The bottom right has small text reading "climate.nasa.gov."
