This temperature spiral doesn’t requiere much interpretation. We are heading towards 1.5 degrees warming very quickly with temperature records broken every month for the past year.
The temperature spiral was designed by Ed Hawkins, a climate scientist at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom. The animated graphic features a rainbow-colored record of global temperatures spinning outward from the late 19th century to the present as the Earth heats up.
I particularly like this graphic as the evidence it displays in undeniable!
