The blue line represents global surface temperature reconstructed over the last 2,000 years using proxy data from tree rings, corals, and ice cores. [1] The red line shows direct surface temperature measurements since 1880. [2] Global surface temperature (GST) is the average temperature of Earth's surface.
According to IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, in the last 170 years, humans have caused the global temperature to increase to the highest level in the last 2,000 years. The current multi-century period is the warmest in the past 100,000 years. [3] The temperature in the years 2011-2020 was 1.09 °C higher than in 1859–1890.
Reconstruction of the past 5 million years of climate history, based on oxygen isotope fractionation in deep sea sediment cores (serving as a proxy for the total global mass of glacial ice sheets), fitted to a model of orbital forcing (Lisiecki and Raymo 2005) [2] and to the temperature scale derived from Vostok ice cores following Petit et al. (1999).
8.2-kiloyear event – Rapid global cooling about 8,200 years ago; Hockey stick graph (global temperature) – Graph in climate science; Little Ice Age – Climatic cooling after the Medieval Warm Period (16th–19th centuries) Medieval Warm Period – Period of warm climate in North Atlantic region lasting from about 950 CE to about 1250
500 million years of climate change Ice core data for the past 400,000 years, with the present at right. Note length of glacial cycles averages ~100,000 years. Blue curve is temperature, green curve is CO 2, and red curve is windblown glacial dust (loess). Scale: Millions of years before present, earlier dates approximate.
The global temperature averaged over the past year is ... the warmest it has been in 120,000 years because of human-caused climate change. ... in the hottest period in the last 10,000 years. ...
To graph this data (and to meet Microsoft Excel's need for regularly-spaced x-axis values), uploader RCraig09 took data ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 years ago, and mapped each datapoint to the nearest 20-year interval.
The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service confirmed the record Friday, announcing that according to its analysis, 2024 was the first full year in which global temperatures exceeded ...
