About this chart

Each line shows how much warmer or cooler a year was than the average from 1861 to 1890, from the Met Office Hadley Centre's HadCRUT5 record. The Northern Hemisphere has more land, which warms faster than ocean, so its line rises the most.

Year-to-year wiggles come from natural cycles like El Niño. The long-term trend is the signal.
