Cut the earth a break: Solar-charge an EV
Last decade: Warmest on record.
Nine of the earth’s 10 warmest years have occurred since 2001.
All 12 of the warmest years have occurred since 1997.
34 consecutive years in which the global temperature has been above average.
An unmistakable upward trend in the earth’s global temperature since records first began being kept in 1880.
