Global Warming

Global Warming Animation

Ed Hawkins, a climate scientist at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science at the University of Reading, devised the spiral animation to show how global average surface temperatures are increasing relative to the average temperature during preindustrial times.

The data comes from the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research, which is part of the UK Met Office.

The graphic shows monthly global temperature departures on average from January 1850 to March 2016, compared to the baseline of preindustrial temperatures from 1850 to 1900.
