The global average surface temperature in 2011 was the ninth warmest since 1880. The finding sustains a trend that has seen the 21st century experience nine of the 10 warmest years in the modern meteorological record. NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York released an analysis of how temperatures around the globe in 2011 compared to the average global temperature from the mid-20th century. The comparison shows how earth continues to experience higher temperatures than several decades ago. The average temperature around the globe in 2011 was 0.92 degrees f (0.51 c) higher than the mid-20th century baseline.

In the first comprehensive satellite study of its kind, a university of Colorado boulder-led team used NASA data to calculate how much earth's melting land ice is adding to global sea level rise. This animation shows the average yearly change in mass, as measured by the NASA / German Aerospace Center Gravity recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission. The animation shows ice loss over Greenland and Antarctica, as measured in centimeters of water from 2003 to 2010. These two landmasses are covered with the largest land-based ice sheets in the world, and are the key sources of scientists' concern about future sea-level rise. Regions with large ice loss rates are denoted with the blue and purple colors. There are enormous ice loss rates over substantial regions of both ice sheets. A color bar shows the range of values displayed.
