This is a 15-second animated line graph showing the 5-year global average temperatures since 1880. The year 2014 now ranks as the warmest on record since 1880, according to an analysis by NASA scientists.Nine of the 10 warmest years since modern records began have now occurred since 2000, according to a global temperature analysis by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York.2014’s record-breaking warmth continues a long-term trend of a warming climate. The global average temperature has increased about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) since 1880, with most of that warming occurring during the last three to four decades.The warming trend is largely driven by the increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, caused by human emissions.

LEAD: NASA reports the global temperature for 2014 was the warmest since 1880.1. Most of the earth experienced warmer than normal temperatures for the year.2. The majority of the warming has been since 1980 and hit the highest temperature on record this year. The earth is about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than 100 years ago.3. Regional differences are strongly affected by year-to-year changing weather dynamics.TAG: NASA scientists track global temperatures as a way to measure how Earth’s climate is changing over time.

This color-coded map in Robinson projection displays a progression of changing global surface temperature anomalies from 1880 through 2014. Higher than normal temperatures are shown in red and lower then normal termperatures are shown in blue. The final frame represents the global temperatures 5-year averaged from 2010 through 2014. Temperature Difference Colorbar This frame set displays the same content as the above frame set. It is the progression of changing global surface temperatures anomalies from 1880 through 2014 without the dates or colorbar overlays. This is the abbreviated 14 second movie starts in 1950 and runs through 2014 with dates and colorbar applied. Date Overlay This frame set of the visualization is designed to be displayed on the Science On a Sphere device. This frame sequence of color-coded Global temperatures in robinson projection display a progression of changing global surface temperature anomalies from 1880 through 2014. Each image represents a unique 5 year time period in the sequence. Higher than normal temperatures are shown in red and lower then normal termperatures are shown in blue. NASA Finds 2014 Was Warmest Year in Modern RecordThe year 2014 ranks as Earth’s warmest since 1880, according to an analysis by NASA scientists.The 10 warmest years in the instrumental record, with the exception of 1998, have now occurred since 2000. This trend continues a long-term warming of the planet, according to an analysis of surface temperature measurements by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) in New York.In an independent analysis of the raw data, NOAA scientists also found 2014 to be the warmest on record.For understanding climate change, the long-term trend of rising temperatures across the planet is more important than any year’s individual ranking. These rankings can be sensitive to analysis methods and sampling. While 2014 ranks as the warmest year in NASA’s global temperature record, it is statistically close to the values from 2010 and 2005, the next warmest years.Since 1880, the average surface temperature of Earth has warmed by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius), a trend that is largely driven by the increase in carbon dioxide and other human emissions into the planet’s atmosphere. The majority of that warming has occurred in the past three decades.Regional differences in temperature in any year are more strongly affected by weather dynamics than the global mean. For example, in the U.S. in 2014, parts of the Midwest and East Coast were anomalously cool, while Alaska and three western U.S. states – California, Arizona and Nevada – recorded their warmest years on record, according to NOAA, which assesses official U.S. temperature records.The GISTEMP analysis website is located at: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/ For More InformationSee [http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/](http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/) Related pages

This visualization of global surface temperatures from November 2014 starts with a local view of the United States and then zooms out to see the global color-coded map. Blue represents colder then normal temperatures and red represents warmer. Temperature Difference Colorbar This visualization sequence contains the same information without the colorbar overlay. Residents of the eastern United States know that the temperature was colder then the average temperature in November 2014. This data visualization of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) Global temperature anomalies for January of 2014 show the United States and then zooms out to show the global picture. Temperature anomalies indicate how much warmer or colder it is than normal for a particular place and time.

This visualization of annual global temperature anomalies from 2014 starts with a local view of the United States and then zooms out to the global color-coded map. Blue represents colder then normal temperatures and red represents warmer then normal temperatures.
