Combating Climate Change - The German Adaptation Strategy
... This shows how global mean temperatures have developed from 1850 to 2005 (blue line). The linear trend since 1850 (black line), 1900 (yellow line) and 1950 (red line) is becoming steeper and steeper. The trend curve (polynomial fit of the time series) shows the dramatic rise since the end of the 197 ...
