The number and severity of high-cost extreme weather events has increased in the 21st century in the United States, and some of these are because of global warming. By August 2011 alone, the NOAA had registered nine distinct extreme weather disasters for that year, each totalling $1 billion or more in economic losses.
According to IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, in the last 170 years, humans have caused the global temperature to increase to the highest level in the last 2,000 years. The current multi-century period is the warmest in the past 100,000 years. [3] The temperature in the years 2011-2020 was 1.09 °C higher than in 1859–1890.
The reconstruction found significant variability around a long-term cooling trend of –0.02 °C per century, as expected from orbital forcing, interrupted in the 20th century by rapid warming which stood out from the whole period, with the 1990s "the warmest decade, and 1998 the warmest year, at moderately high levels of confidence."
Much of the SVG code was automatically generated by the "Vertical bar charts" spreadsheet linked at User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG. Uploader moved elements around manually using a text editor before uploading. This graphic is more recent and more detailed than predecessor File:Global temperature change - decadal averages, 1880s-2000s (NOAA).png
An early (2018) warming stripes graphic published by their originator, climatologist Ed Hawkins. [1] The progression from blue (cooler) to red (warmer) stripes portrays annual increases of global average temperature since 1850 (left side of graphic) until the date of the graphic (right side).
English: Video showing most recent ~140 years of global warming in the perspective of the last ~2000 years. Method: I simplified the two source SVG images (below) in Inkscape, exported to big PNG files, and used Photoshop Elements to generate 59 frame-by-frame PNG images for Shotcut to generate the continuous transition this webm video.

The following day (10 May), Jason Samenow wrote in The Washington Post that the spiral graph was "the most compelling global warming visualization ever made", [27] and, likewise, former Climate Central senior science writer Andrew Freedman wrote in Mashable that it was "the most compelling climate change visualization we’ve ever seen".
