This color-coded map displays a progression of changing global surface temperature anomalies from 1880 through 2015.
Higher than normal temperatures are shown in red and lower then normal termperatures are shown in blue.
The final frame represents the global temperatures 5-year averaged from 2011 through 2015. Scale in degree Celsius.
Climate refers to the long-term regional or even global average of temperature, humidity and rainfall patterns over seasons, years or decades. Climate is global and long-term.
The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-inducede and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years
