On Friday, Jan. 10, NASA and NOAA will release their annual assessment of global temperatures for the previous year. Where did 2024 fall in the record books?

NASA and NOAA scientists are available for one-on-one interviews on Friday, Jan. 10 from 12 p.m. - 4 p.m. EDT to share with your viewers where 2024 fell in the climate record books, and what it means for the future.

Each year, NASA and NOAA undertake the huge task of measuring the average temperature of Earth, using land and sea surface measurements from tens of thousands of weather stations, ships and ocean buoys across the globe. Understanding these long-term changes is vital to how we interact with our environment, from planting different crops to managing water resources, to predicting the strength of hurricanes.

Suggested Anchor Intro:
Americans across a large portion of the country rang in the new year with lots of snow. As we head into 2025, let's take a brief pause and look back at 2024.

Today NASA and NOAA released their annual global temperature outlook, and here to tell us about how 2024 temperatures compare to previous years is NASA/NOAA expert XX.

Suggested Questions:
1. NASA and NOAA just announced the latest global temperature data for 2024. Where does 2024 rank in the climate record?
2. We’re in the [select region], how are these global changes impacting us where we live?
Northeast / Mid-Atlantic
Southeast / Gulf Coast
Midwest
West / Southwest
Pacific Northwest
International
3. Scientists now have more data than ever before about our home planet from two new satellites that launched in 2024: NASA’s PACE satellite that’s focusing on our oceans and atmosphere, and NOAA’s most advanced GOES weather satellite. How do these satellites work together to help us understand our climate and weather?
4. How do you take the temperature of Earth, and how do you monitor climate over such a large scale?
5. What do we expect to see in the future in terms of heat and these global events?
6. Where can our viewers learn more? [@NASAEarth]

Questions for longer interviews:
7. When you think of NASA images, astronauts on the International Space Station or distant galaxies captured by the James Webb Space Telescope may come to mind. But studying our planet Earth is also a top priority. Why does NASA (or NOAA) study the Earth?
8. NASA’s next Earth science mission launching is NISAR. How will it help us understand our home planet?
9. What Earth science are you most excited to tackle next?
