Over the last 50 years the Arctic has warmed the most, and temperatures on land have generally increased more than sea surface temperatures. [18] Global warming affects all parts of Earth's climate system. [19] Global surface temperatures have risen by 1.1 °C (2.0 °F). Scientists say they will rise further in the future.
The temperature on land rose by 1.59 °C while over the ocean it rose by 0.88 °C. [3] In 2020 the temperature was 1.2 °C above the pre-industrial era. [4] In September 2023 the temperature was 1.75 °C above pre-industrial level and during the entire year of 2023 is expected to be 1.4 °C above it. [5]
The initial concept of visualizing historical temperature data has been extended to involve animation, [10] to visualize sea level rise [11] and predictive climate data, [12] and to visually juxtapose temperature trends with other data such as atmospheric CO 2 concentration, [13] global glacier retreat, [14] precipitation, [4] progression of ...
The world is on track for a “catastrophic” 3.1 ... Earth is currently likely to see a global temperature rise of 2.6 degrees Celsius to 3.1 ... Even if countries deliver on their climate plans ...
Country/Region Temperature Town/Location Date Record Info Australia: 37.8 °C (100.0 °F) Marble Bar, Western Australia: 31 October 1923 to 7 April 1924 (160 days) Most consecutive days above 37.8 °C (100 °F) [187] - Iran: 70.7 °C (159.3 °F) Lut Desert: 2005: Highest natural ground surface temperature 70.7 °C (159.3 °F) [188] [189] -
The Arctic has warmed the most, and temperatures on land have generally increased more than sea surface temperatures. Earth's average surface air temperature has increased almost 1.5 °C (about 2.5 °F) since the Industrial Revolution. Natural forces cause some variability, but the 20-year average shows the progressive influence of human activity.
Sea surface temperatures are also tracking high to begin 2025, which are associated with unusually high air temperatures. January 2025 finished as the second-highest sea surface temperature on ...
The original climate spiral was published on 9 May 2016 by British climate scientist Ed Hawkins to portray global average temperature anomaly (change) since 1850. [6] The visualization graphic has since been expanded to represent other time-varying quantities such as atmospheric CO 2 concentration, [3] carbon budget, [3] and arctic sea ice ...
