Show Your Stripes
Today is Show Your Stripes Day; a global moment to share our concern about how the climate is changing and the need for urgent action.
“Warming stripes” are a powerful visual representation of how temperatures have increased around the world since the Industrial Revolution.
Created by climate scientist Prof. Ed Hawkins at the University of Reading, each stripe represents one year. The colours transition from cool blues to warm reds to represent the temperature increases seen throughout the past 150 years or more.
