Video overview
Temperature anomalies by country 1880-2017 based on NASA GISTEMP data. The main metric we use to track global warming is the temperature anomaly. This doesn't tell us the absolute temperature in a given month, but how different it is compared to historical temperatures. In climate research, temperature anomalies are considered a key metric since they tell us about changes over time.
