1. Where is the heat going?
1.5 Temperature Change at Different Scales
1700 Years of Global Temperature Change from Proxy Data
1900-2010 (2011) Anomalies are clearly trending towards hot and very hot temperatures
1950-2010 (2011) Fraction of surface area that's cold or hot shifting significantly
1950-2010 (2011) We can track how annual anomalies diverge in terms of SDs from the baseline
1950-2011 (2011) The fraction of land area with very high extremes is increasing
1955-2007 (2011) We can track how surface temperatures are changing over time
1955-2011 (2011) The proportion of surface area displaying >3 SDs is growing significantly
2009 Climate change modeling has gotten a lot better
