Since 1901, the average temperature across the contiguous U.S. states has grown at an average rate of 0.16°F (0.09°С) per decade. Average temperatures have grown more rapidly since the late 1970s (0.31 to 0.54°F or 0.17°С to 0.3°С per decade since 1979). Eight of the top ten hottest years on record for the contiguous U.S. states have happened since 1998, and 2012 and 2016 were the 2 warmest years on record. Over the following few decades (2021–2050), yearly average temperatures are supposed to grow by around 2.5°F (1.39°С) for the U.S., related to the recent past (average from 1976 – 2005), under all probable future climate scenarios.

Antarctica Under the Ice
Antarctica’s ice reaches more than 4 kilometres in depth in places and covers 98% of the continent. Three maps show the bedrock terrain beneath it, the continent without ice, and the landscape that would eventually emerge after isostatic rebound. East Antarctica stays above sea level without ice. West Antarctica mostly does not.
