Global cooling - Is global warming still happening?

Conversely, the last few years have seen moderate La Nina conditions which had a cooling effect on global temperatures. And the last few ...

Impacts of warming
... Here we use analysis of the Met Office’s Earth system model, HadGEM2-ES, to show how some impacts differ at certain levels of warming. The results are taken for a single high emissions scenario as global temperatures pass 1.5 °C, 2 °C and 4 °C of warming above pre-industrial levels. Information on o ...

Instrumental temperature record
The instrumental temperature record shows fluctuations of the temperature of earth's climate system. Initially the instrumental temperature record only documented land and sea surface temperature, but in recent decades instruments have also begun recording ocean temperature. Data is collected from thousands of meteorological stations around the globe and through satellite observations. The longest-running temperature record is the Central England temperature data series, that starts in 1659. The longest-running quasi-global record starts in 1850.
