Five-Year Global Temperature Anomalies from 1880 to 2012

Visualizations by Lori Perkins Released on January 15, 2013
This color-coded map displays a progression of changing global surface temperatures anomalies from 1880 through 2012. Higher than normal temperatures are shown in red and lower then normal temperatures are shown in blue. Global surface temperature in 2012 was +0.55
