How animation is affecting the temperature
Answers
Most of us will never witness melting glaciers and flooded coastlines first-hand, but we can all see that it’s getting hot, and fast.
According to the 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Global Warming, human activities have increased Earth’s global average temperature by about 1 degree Celsius since the pre-industrial period, and we are already feeling the effects, including more frequent extreme weather events and sea level rise.
As the world came together last week to protest climate change inaction, some really clever visualizations made the rounds on social media.

As the world came together last week to protest climate change inaction, some really clever visualizations made the rounds on social media. Here are our favourites:
This simple but striking visualization shows how this side-effect of climate change has played out over 137 years. Created by Kevin Pluck of Pixel Movers and Makers, it’s based on sea level rise data from Australia’s national science institute, the CSIRO, and NASA’s GISS Earth sciences division.
