Keywords: Atmosphere; Ocean; Climate change; Communications/decision making; Education1. IntroductionEarth’s climate is warming: 2024 was the warmest year on record and the first to be more than 1.5°C above preindustrial levels (WMO 2025). It is likely that we are now living through the warmest period in the whole of human civilization, and climate-related risks increase with every bit of further warming (IPCC 2021).

The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the period before widespread industralisation. More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements, made by thousands of people over many decades, have been condensed into a single number. But are these simple numbers helpful for telling the story of all this data and what it means for people living today? Does my simple graphic help? I hope so.

In September 1933, American meteorologist Joseph Kincer asked a simple question: is the climate changing? So began the effort to understand the scope of humanity's interference with the climate. By examining trends in measured temperatures at many different locations around the world, Kincer concluded that the world was getting warmer, but did not suggest a reason.

The iconic ‘warming stripes’ - a set of simple graphics that represent observed changes in temperature across the globe using coloured stripes - have been updated to include data for 2023. It was globally the hottest year on record. By a large margin. New for 2023For the 2023 update to the graphics, we have done more than just add another stripe. There have been some subtle changes to the design of the graphics.
