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 climate in Texas is changing partially due to global warming and rising trends in greenhouse gas emissions. [1] As of 2016, most area of Texas had already warmed by 1.5 °F (0.83 °C) since the previous century because of greenhouse gas emissions by the United States and other countries. [ 1 ]

The initial concept of visualizing historical temperature data has been extended to involve animation, [10] to visualize sea level rise [11] and predictive climate data, [12] and to visually juxtapose temperature trends with other data such as atmospheric CO 2 concentration, [13] global glacier retreat, [14] precipitation, [4] progression of ...
Countries agreed in the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C (2.7 degrees F) above preindustrial times to avert the most catastrophic consequences of climate change.
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.
