Understanding the Climate Stripes: A Call to Action

The Climate Stripes are a powerful visual representation of the rising temperatures from 1850 to the present. Each stripe represents the average temperature of a specific year, moving from cooler blues to alarming reds as temperatures increase. This striking visualization highlights the undeniable trend of global warming caused by human activities.

Developed by international climate scientist Ed Hawkins, the Climate Stripes have become an iconic symbol of climate change. The stripes serve as a visual wake-up call, graphically representing the climate crisis and urging lawmakers, individuals, and businesses to take bold climate action. With the impacts of climate change threatening our health, communities, and economies, the Climate Stripes underscore one clear message: climate can’t wait.
