New video from NASA shows increasing global temperatures since 1880

NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) monitors global surface temperatures on an ongoing basis. Their analysis shows temperatures around the globe in 2011 compared to the average global temperature from the mid-20th century. The comparison shows how Earth continues to experience warmer temperatures than several decades ago.

Global temperatures have warmed significantly since 1880, the beginning of what scientists call the “modern record.” At this time, the coverage provided by weather stations allowed for essentially global temperature data. As greenhouse gas emissions from energy production, industry and vehicles have increased, temperatures have climbed, most notably since the late 1970s. In this animation of temperature data from 1880-2011, reds indicate temperatures higher than the average during a baseline period of 1951-1980, while blues indicate lower temperatures than the baseline average.

Witnessing migration in action is to see a natural miracle, says JOHN INGHAM



THE summer that just keeps giving had the swallows all in a flutter last week. On the south coast of the Isle of Wight hundreds streamed past me and my family as we walked over the downs, enchanted by dart-like birds racing over the white cliffs and the green sward. Yet they were flying north-east instead of south towards Africa. Some were even coming in from the sea instead of heading out over the Channel.
