Temperature changes around the world – 1901-2018

The countries are listed in alphabetical order in their bloc, eg running down from Albania to UK in Europe

Each line of coloured pixels is the temperature record of an individual nation within its region, stacked one atop the other. This global “Climate Stripes” graphic is the work of Prof Ed Hawkins at Reading University who has sought clearer ways to communicate the issues around climate change – and to start conversations that might lead to solutions. Prof Hawkins experimented with different ways of rendering the agencies’ global data and chanced upon the coloured stripes idea.
