NASA Temperature Anomalies from 1880 to 2012

It’s easy to get confused by this deluge of information and statistics – which is why this new animation from NASA is so useful.

In their own words it “displays a progression of changing global surface temperatures anomalies from 1880 through 2012. Higher then normal temperatures are shown in red and lower then normal temperatures are shown in blue.”
