Global spirals:
• Global temperature spiral: 1850-2020
• Temperature spiral out to 2100. Professor Ed Hawkins has simulated the temperature increase that would occur if emissions continued to rise unabated until 2100. Mercifully, this is not going to happen, thanks to global actions now being implemented. The situation is still dire, however.
• Carbon dioxide spiral: 1858-2016. Sadly, CO2 levels have risen from 402 parts per million when this spiral was made, to 421 ppm now.
• Arctic sea ice cover: 1978-2022
