The evidence is clear: Our planet is steadily warming
Today, I decided to post the most recent long-term global, surface temperature data with trends.
I am including data from NASA GISS, NOAA, UKMET, JMA and Berkeley. Most of the official data go back as far as the mid- or late 1800s. All sources clearly show a distinct, global warming trend.
In addition, I also included the satellite measured global temperature data from the lower troposphere, which goes back to 1979. Courtesy Remote Sensing Systems.
<strong>NASA GISS</strong>
Monthly global surface temperature anomalies. Clearly, the bulk of monthly warming has taken place after 1990.

Global temperature trend from 1880 to 1950.

Global temperature trend from 1950-2016 clearly shows an acceleration of the warming trend.

Actual long-term surface temperature trend versus the three emissions scenarios. Scenario A is the worst scenario followed by B then C. Based on the data, the globe seems to be running between scenario B and C over recent years.

<strong>Berkeley Earth</strong>
Berkeley Earth shows excellent agreement among several databases, especially since 1950.

<strong>Remote Sensing Systems (Satellite)</strong>
Global satellite measured trend of the lower troposphere since 1979. Anomalies are lower than surface temps due to a later base line and they are measuring the lower troposphere.
