NASA researchers have documented the loss of trillions of tons of ice from Earth's poles due to human-driven climate change. NASA global temperature data is publicly available on the organization's Vital Signs of the Planet website.USA today could not find any evidence that NASA made the claimed statements. NASA data shows that Arctic sea ice and ice sheets at both poles have been steadily losing ice for decades and that warming has continued over the last 18 years. Antarctic sea ice has not exhibited a strong overall trend of gain or loss since 1979. "Human-driven warming has continued over the past years, which is evident not only in the surface instrumental record, but also in satellite temperature records, melting glaciers, rising sea levels. increased ocean heat content and a number of other signs of a warming world," said Greene.
