Tag: Global warming

Global warming is illustrated in this collection of accurate, accessible science graphics, designed to make understanding the rise in the Earth’s temperatures clear and engaging. These visuals cover greenhouse gas emissions, heat-trapping processes, impacts on weather, oceans, ice sheets, and ecosystems, showing how human activities drive climate change. Ideal for educators, students, and science enthusiasts, this global warming graphic collection turns complex environmental science concepts into visually rich, easy-to-grasp resources for teaching and learning about one of today’s most urgent planetary challenges.

Atmospheric CO2 concentration art

No time to waste: Globally averaged concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere for the time period 803’719 BCE – today.

No time to waste: Globally averaged concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere for the time period 803’719 BCE – today. Not only the level of CO2 in the atmosphere matters, but also the rate at which it has changed: It took us a matter of decades to achieve larger changes than previous ones, which occurred over centuries or even thousands of years. This gives species, planetary systems, and ecosystems much less time to adapt. Artwork is based on the data visualisation from s-ink.org/atmospheric-co2-concentration.

Atmospheric CO2 concentration

Globally averaged concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere for the time period 803’719 BCE – 2018.

Globally averaged concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere for the time period 803’719 BCE – 2018. Shown is data from Bereiter et al. (2015) and the concentration is measured in parts per million (ppm). The long-term global average atmospheric concentrations of CO2 have been combined using several sources, all available at the NOAA/ESRL Global Monitoring Division. Not only the level of CO2 in the atmosphere matters, but also the rate at which it has changed. It took us a matter of decades to achieve larger changes than previous ones, which occurred over centuries or even thousands of years. This gives species, planetary systems, and ecosystems much less time to adapt. The Scientific colour map ‘bilbao‘ is used to represent data accurately and to all readers.

Annual global temperature change (artistic)

The annual global surface temperature anomalies relative to a 1961-1990 reference period as historically 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 3-D 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.
