जलवायु परिवर्तन सम्बन्धी विस्तृत तथ्याङ्क उपलब्ध भए तापनि, यो सधैं सजिलै पचाउन सकिने हुँदैन। कहिलेकाहीँ विश्वव्यापी तापक्रममा के भइरहेको छ भन्ने कुराको पूर्ण ज्ञान प्राप्त गर्न वैज्ञानिक नतिजाहरूको उत्कृष्ट दृश्य प्रतिनिधित्वको आवश्यकता पर्दछ।
To this end, Ed Hawkins, a widely-published professor of climate science at the University of Reading in the UK, recently created this visual model of climate change, showing spiraling global temperatures from 1850 to 2016 in full animation. The result is fascinating!
The spiral graphic includes global temperature markers of 0.0, 1.5, and 2 degrees Celsius. The 1.5 and 2 degree C markers have become even more important, as the world pledged to attempt to avoid reaching these global temperatures in the Paris climate agreement signed earlier this year.
While it may be difficult to translate all of the data that exists on climate change, Hawkins' animated spiral graph does a great job of making global warming visible, and demonstrating the historical rise in global temperatures as they grow dangerously close to the 1.5 degree C marker.
