After the triple dip in the 12 month moving average of global temperature anomalies since their peak in 2016, global temperatures are now back on the march upwards once again. Looking back at the last 20 years a simple linear trend on the monthly anomalies reveals that anomalies are rising at the astounding rate close to 0.25°C per decade or 2.5°C per century. You’ll notice that the two charts from the ECMWFECMWF The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts is an independent intergovernmental organisation supported by most of the nations of Europe. It is based at three sites: Shinfield Park, Reading, United Kingdom; Bologna, Italy; and Bonn, Germany. It operates one of the largest supercomputer complexes in Europe and the world's largest archive of numerical weather prediction data. in Europe and NASANASA The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an independent agency of the US federal government responsible for the civil space program, aeronautics research, and space research. & GISSGISS The Goddard Institute for Space Studies is a laboratory in the Earth Sciences Division of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center affiliated with the Columbia University Earth Institute. in America show similar results.
Again, I’ve spent some time smartening up this monthly view of anomalies that include the usual linear trend and a 12 month moving average overlay.
