Global temperatures have warmed significantly since 1880, the beginning of what scientists call the “modern record.” At this time, the coverage provided by weather stations allowed for essentially global temperature data. As greenhouse gas emissions from energy production, industry and vehicles have increased, temperatures have climbed, most notably since the late 1970s. In this animation of temperature data from 1880-2011, reds indicate temperatures higher than the average during a baseline period of 1951-1980, while blues indicate lower temperatures than the baseline average.

The finding continues a trend in which nine of the 10 warmest years in the modern meteorological record have occurred since the year 2000.NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York, which monitors global surface temperatures on an ongoing basis, released an updated analysis that shows temperatures around the globe in 2011 compared to the average global temperature from the mid-20th century. The comparison shows how Earth continues to experience warmer temperatures than several decades ago. The average temperature around the globe in 2011 was 0.92 degrees F (0.51 C) warmer than the mid-20th century baseline.Global Warming Climate Change Temperatures Rising Greenhouse Gas Emissions Energy Risen 2011 ninth hottest year Goddard Space Center Visualisation Earth Human Man Made Caused Pollution Carbon Dioxide Renewable Solar Power Wind Electric Environment Clean Green Sustainable Environmentalism “Solar Energy (Industry)” “Natural Gas (Industry)” Electricity Alternative Save tdc thedailyconversation the daily conversation President Barack Obama Election 2012
