Video of the Day: Ask a NASA climate scientist

Published by

Do you have a question that’s always confounded you about Earth’s climate? Do you, like some of Australia’s most powerful Conservative politicians, wonder why it matters that the climate is changing now if it has changed in the past? Or how scientists know changes seen in recent decades are the result of human activities, not natural causes?

Well wonder no more, because NASA is inviting you to ask one of their climate scientists. As the video below explains, NASA scientists are inviting anyone and everyone to submit their climate question, either via a 10-15 second video or via Twitter, using the hashtag #askclimate. In turn, NASA will respond, even recording video responses to some of the questions it receives, which it will post to the NASAExplorer YouTube channel.

So, do you have a question?
