Global temperature changes, artwork C017 / 7233
Global temperature changes, computer artwork. Colour-coded globes showing a progression of changing global surface temperatures from 1880 to 2005, the warmest year on record. Dark red indicates the greatest warming and dark blue indicates the greatest cooling. The carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere was about 285 parts per million in 1880, the first year in the GISS temperature record. By 1960, the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, measured at NOas Mauna Loa Observatory, was about 315 parts per million. Today, that measurement exceeds 390 parts per million. Because of a rapid warming trend over the past 30 years, the Earth is now reaching and passing through the warmest levels seen in the last 12, 000 years

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Global temperature changes, artwork C017 / 7233" showcases the alarming progression of global surface temperatures from 1880 to 2005. The artwork features a series of colour-coded globes, each representing a specific year within this period. Dark red hues indicate the most significant warming trends, while dark blue shades represent the greatest cooling patterns observed. The accompanying information sheds light on the correlation between atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and rising temperatures. In 1880, when record-keeping began, CO2 concentration stood at approximately 285 parts per million (ppm). By 1960, it had risen to around 315 ppm and today exceeds a concerning threshold of over 390 ppm. This visually striking piece highlights how our planet is currently experiencing its warmest phase in over twelve millennia due to an accelerated warming trend witnessed in recent decades. The image serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for climate action and underscores the profound impact human activities have had on Earth's delicate balance. Carlos Clarivan's artwork masterfully combines elements of science and artistry to convey complex environmental data in an accessible manner. Through this thought-provoking composition, viewers are compelled to contemplate humanity's role in shaping our planet's future trajectory amidst ongoing discussions surrounding global warming and climate change.
