NASA released a series called the "Images Of Change" which reveal how our world has changed over the past 30 years.

The series is a set of satellite images that shows everything from island building to flooding to urbanization, and the effects climate change has had one each.

It's an unfortunate fact that the phenomenon is depleting nature at an alarming rate. The gripping photo series shows the current state our planet is in, take a look:

1. Mount Pinatubo, Philippines, erupted 26 years ago

"In the 2017 image (right), green near the summit indicates forest regrowth, and pink stretches streaming from the mountain show scars from fast-moving floods of volcanic ash and water. Called “lahars,” these floods affected more people than the eruption itself and continue to be hazardous."

2. Arctic sea-ice coverage hits record low

"The 2016 minimum was tied for the second-lowest on record. “At the rate we’re observing this decline,” said NASA scientist Joey Comiso, “it’s very likely that the Arctic’s summer sea ice will completely disappear within this "

3. Monsoon rain inundates Sri Lanka

More than 48 hours of nonstop monsoon rain caused severe flooding in southern Sri Lanka in late May 2017.

4. Glaciers recede worldwide

"Many of the world’s glaciers are losing mass and receding, such as those in Chile’s Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPI). However, one of SPI’s glaciers, the Brüggen Glacier (also known as the Pio XI Glacier), is advancing for no clear reason."

5. Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier calves iceberg

Another block of ice, roughly a mile (one to two kilometers) long, has broken off Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier and floated into the adjacent bay. The glacier is estimated to deliver some 19 cubic miles (79 cubic kilometers) of ice to the bay each year.
