Thank you for the date! When viewing in my default javascript-disabled mode, I couldn't find the publication date.

I'm also thankful to the NASA IT team that made this article, including images and formatting, viewable with javascript disabled.

This was also my main reaction. In agreement with several other replies to your comment, this one must have slipped through the cracks.

After the HN affect raises awareness of this article, I wouldn't be surprised if it disappears too.

The article has great formatting for lay readers: the points are listed in a straightforward manner, photos illustrate each point, footnoted references are provided, and the conclusion is stated clearly at the top "There is unequivocal evidence that Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate. Human activity is the principal cause.".

The refusal to support electrification across the board, in order to support the revenue streams of legacy petro-centric corporations, is the largest physical infrastructure damage being done to the US by the so called "conservative" demographic. IMHO this will form the central cause of the demise of the US empire.
