It’s getting warmer…
Since 1880, the average temperature on Earth has increased – how much, depends on how it is calculated. During the same period, the global sea level has increased with a rapid pace. Moving Science has made an animated visualization that shows the annual anomalies (thus, how much the average, annual temperature for land and ocean diverges from the 19th Century normal) year by year – combined with sea level data – from 1880 to 2020.
Go to data-visualizations to see the full animation.
