Visualizing Climate Science
This global temperature graphic is one of many visualizations featured at two new NASA websites. (NASA)
Having trouble finding that perfect image or video to explain the impact of melting sea ice or rising CO2 levels to Uncle Vern over the Thanksgiving holiday? NASA is here to help.
Today NASA announced that it has complied some of their best climate related visualizations, including videos and still images at two websites for easy access. You can check them out at NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio or Global Climate Change sites. Yours to download and share for free.

Mainly because it does not rely on data from GISS, which is extremely suspect for data integrity due to UHI effects from ground based sensors. Satellites data trumps land-based data every day of the week. UAH is the best of the satellite sets. It currently uses the AQUA satellite which is in a stable orbit. RSS still uses on old satellite in a decaying orbit, and the data must be continually adjusted.
The takeaway for me is, the vast majority of the warming over the last 30ish years has been mainly in the Arctic. Antarctica, in contrast, is cooling almost as rapidly as the Arctic is warming....
