Climate Visualizations
All visualizations generated by GlobalTemperature variation_8 tools using matplotlib. Charts show full available data ranges from authoritative sources (NASA, NOAA, NSIDC, OWID).

Global Warming Stripes
Ed Hawkins-style visualization. Each stripe = one year. Blue = cooler, Red = warmer than 1850-1900 average.
1880-2025 (146 years)
Global Temperature Anomaly
NASA GISTEMP data with trend line and Paris Agreement targets (1.5°C and 2.0°C).
1880-2025
Temperature Annotated - Addressing Climate Myths
Three zoomed insets: 1940-1975 "cooling" (aerosols, papers 44:7 warming), 1998 El Niño spike, and the "pause" (+0.17°C/decade). Data-driven responses to common denial arguments.
1880-2025 with insets
Atmospheric CO2 (Keeling Curve)
NOAA Mauna Loa measurements. Cyan line shows pre-industrial level (280 ppm).
1959-2025
Climate Indicators - Full Range
Four-panel view: Temperature (1880-), CO2 (1959-), Methane (1984-), Arctic Ice (1979-). Each panel shows its complete available data range.
Full range per indicator
Global Mean Sea Level Rise
Satellite altimetry data with linear projection to 2100. Current rate: ~3.4 mm/year.
1992-2025 (satellite era)
Arctic Amplification
Arctic (64°N-90°N) warming vs global average. Arctic warming at 2-3x the global rate.
1979-2025
Ocean Heat Content (0-700m)
Upper ocean heat content anomaly. Ocean has absorbed 90%+ of excess heat.
1955-2025
Ocean Heat Content (0-2000m)
Deep ocean heat content from Argo float network.
2005-2025
Top CO2 Emitters (2024)
Annual CO2 emissions by country. China leads at ~12 Gt, followed by US at ~5 Gt.
2024 data
Comprehensive Climate Dashboard
Six-panel overview: Temperature, CO2, Sea Level, Arctic Ice, Ocean Heat, and Top Emitters.
