The observed warming in Malawi between 1901 and 2021. Malawi is a land-locked country in southeastern Africa situated along the southernmost arm of the East African Rift-Valley System between latitudes 9°22’ and 17°03’ south of the equator, and longitudes 33°40’ and 35°55’ east of the Greenwich meridian.

By 2100, sea level in the Caribbean is expected to rise by 1.4 m. [23] Rise in sea level could impact coastal communities of the Caribbean if they are less than 3 metres (10 ft) above the sea. In Latin America and the Caribbean, it is expected that 29–32 million people may be affected by the sea level rise because they live below this threshold.
The warming of ocean waters has caused coral bleaching and the degradation of coral reefs, which are vital to marine biodiversity and fisheries. Coral reefs support a large proportion of the world's fish species, providing food and livelihoods for millions of people. As ocean temperatures rise, the symbiotic relationship between corals and ...
In 2016, the global average temperature was already 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels. [15] According to the review of the scientific literature conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), carbon dioxide is the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas by warming contribution.

Some warned that warming stripes of individual countries or states, taken out of context, could advance the idea that global temperatures are not rising, [35] though research meteorologist J. Marshall Shepherd said that "geographic variations in the graphics offer an outstanding science communication opportunity". [100]
The following day (10 May), Jason Samenow wrote in The Washington Post that the spiral graph was "the most compelling global warming visualization ever made", [27] and, likewise, former Climate Central senior science writer Andrew Freedman wrote in Mashable that it was "the most compelling climate change visualization we’ve ever seen".
