Six Decades of a Warming Earth

Our friends at NASA Goddard have an excellent visualisation of the patterns of Warming.

NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York, which analyzes global surface temperatures on an ongoing basis, released an updated report on temperatures around the globe in 2013. The comparison shows how Earth continues to experience temperatures warmer than those measured several decades ago.

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology states in their Annual Climate Statement – 2013 –

2013 was Australia’s warmest year since records began in 1910. Mean temperatures across Australia have generally been well above average since September 2012. Long periods of warmer-than-average days have been common, with a distinct lack of cold weather.
