The global warming debate continues, but these data suggest that there has been a recent temperature rise

Land Temperature Anomaly Video

For more information about this study visit href= http://berkeleyearth.org target = _blank > http://berkeleyearth.org . Berkeley Earth video representation of the land surface temperature anomaly, 1800 to the present. The map of the world shows the temperature anomaly by location over time. The chart at the bottom, shows the global land-surface temperature anomaly. The Berkeley Earth analysis shows 0.911 degrees Centigrade of land warming (+/- 0.042 C) since the 1950s.

A Skeptic Confirms Substantial Recent Global Warming

Richard Muller, a physicist at the University of California, Berkeley, who has been a harsh critic of advocates for prompt cuts in greenhouse gases, has finished an independent analysis of 200 years of temperature data and confirms existing studies showing substantial warming of the continents since 1950 -- a trend challenged by many critics of climate science.
