The annual global temperature anomaly as measured over time since the year 1850.

The annual global surface temperature anomalies relative to a 1961-1990 reference period as historically measured over time since the year 1850 based on the UK Met Office HadCRUT5.0 dataset (Morice et al.). The graph illustrates the rise in average temperatures and climate change. The Scientific colour map vik is used to represent data accurately and to all readers.
