Earth Day Data Visualization

The warming of the Earth can be seen in the global average temperature year by year. Usually that data is shown within a relatively short time span, like this graph that starts in 1850:

That increase in the past few decades looks pretty extreme.

As always, this is where you can show the annual stripes (since 1895) globally, nationally, regionally, or locally.
