Satellite measurements of the Earth's surface temperature have confirmed that global warming is heating up the planet.
The infrared system measures heat radiating from the earth and was used to record temperatures from 2003 to 2017.
The surface skin temperature map , which is derived solely from the satellite data, showed a warming pattern consistent with other measurements taken on land.
A combination of both data sets and all the existing research now offers almost irrefutable proof of global warming, researchers claim.
