New Report Tracks Decades of Climate Change

Decadal global  combined surface-air  temperature over  land and sea-surface  temperature (°C)  obtained from the  average over the three  independent datasets  maintained by the UK Met  Office Hadley Centre and  the Climatic Research  Unit, University of East  Anglia, in the United  Kingdom (HadCRU),  NOAA-National Climatic  Data Center (NCDC)  and the US National  Aeronautics and Space  Administration-Goddard  Institute for Space  Studies (NASA-GISS).  The horizontal grey line  indicates the longterm average value for  1961–1990 (14°C).
A new report from the World Meteorological Organization tries to contextualize the headlines of recent years by taking the long view – considering all those heat waves, droughts and storms not as single events, but across decades.
