GISTEMP Global Temperature
Want to know if the planet is actually warming? This is the data that settles the argument. NASA combines temperature readings from weather stations around the world and ocean buoys to calculate how much hotter or colder each month was compared to a standard baseline from the 1950s. If the number is positive, that month was warmer than average. If negative, it was cooler. It goes all the way back to 1880, so you can see the long-term trend. This is one of the main datasets climate scientists point to when they talk about global warming.
