Global Temperature Graph (1851-2020)View the high-resolution of the infographic by clicking here.Since 1880, the Earth’s average surface temperature has risen by 0.07°C (0.13°F) every decade. That number alone may seem negligible, but over time, it adds up....
Fig. 1: Projections of global mean surface temperature. The 20-year running average of the global mean surface temperature (GMST) change relative to the 1986–2005 average for the representative concentration pathways included in the coupled model intercomparison project, phase 5. The thick lines ...
‘The globally averaged combined land and ocean surface temperature data as calculated by a linear trend, show a warming of 0.85 [0.65 to 1.06] C, over the period 1880 to 2012, when multiple independently produced datasets exist. The total increase between the average of the 1850e1900 period...
The term “temperature anomaly” means a departure from a reference value or long-term average. A positive anomaly indicates that the observed temperature was warmer than the reference value, while a negative anomaly indicates that the observed temperature was cooler than the reference value. The re...
Why does global temperature change from one year to the next? Play the interactive video to find out. Now, test your knowledge! Use the temperature graph from the interactive video on the previous slide to help you answer the question. ...
Examines the science and arguments of global warming skepticism. Common objections like 'global warming is caused by the sun', 'temperature has changed naturally in the past' or 'other planets are warming too' are examined to see what the science really

Global Temperature Rise The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere....
A graph is presented which determines the dependence of the area of near-surface permafrost on the global average annual mean atmospheric temperature at surface on the basis of CM IAP RAS calculations.doi:10.1134/S1028334X12060025A. V. Eliseev...
