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. In addition, the rate of...

In all our bottom-up scenarios, rising emissions would lead to global temperature increases above 1.5°C by 2050, from around 1.8°C in the Sustainable Transformation scenario, through around 2.2°C in Continued Momentum, to around 2.6°C in Slow Evolution. Image description: A line graph shows...
Keeling’s findings indicated that CO2 concentrations were steadily rising in association with the combustion of fossil fuels, and they also yielded the famous “Keeling curve,” a graph in which the longer-term rising trend is superimposed on small oscillations related to seasonal variations in the...
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
causing global temperatures to rise.Here is some of the evidence which suggests that the average global temperature is rising:- the 1980s and 1990s are the warmest decades on record;- the warmest years in global meteorological history have all occurred in the past 15 years;- the 20th century...
Using an ensemble of CMIP5 long-term climate projections that was weighted according to a sequential learning algorithm and whose spread was linked to the range of past measurements, we find considerably reduced uncertainty ranges for the projected global mean surface temperature. The results suggest ...
