  1. Wild-ass guess: Average air temps of a wide but limited region.

  2. Some sort of normalized temperature average vs month, over last 140 years, implying constant temperature increase independent of season.

  3. Proof of global warming ;-)

    Not a placeholder comment

  4. It looks like it's about average temperature increase. But I guess it's not, I'm probably wrong.

  5. Without any cheat not looking other answers, I'd say it is the see level changes through the year.

  6. The chart of average global temperature shows a high degree of correlation with the exponentially increasing combustion of fossil Carbon over the same period. Humans are making progress terraforming Earth into someplace else, if not for someone else. I wonder who? I assume they come from a much warmer planet.

  8. Not really sure. Ocean temperatures?

  9. A possibly related complicated thing, over the years, climatologists/meteorologists have been corrections thermometer readings to adjust for urban heat island effect.

  10. Want to say Arctic temperature anomaly, but don't think that's right... The negative values in winter are throwing me...

    Edited for Derp: Didn't see Craig's answer above.

  11. The inverse of rising global average temperature is the value of coastal real estate. If it doesn't float, it is a depreciating asset.

  12. Average temp of -3 to +1 in 1880.
    From -1 to +2 now, so, it's in the Northern Hemisphere, somewhere.
    Siberia?
