Does anyone know where i can get charts or graphs showing that the temperatures are rising?

Question

I'm doing a scince project on climate change. I need more stuff on greenhouse gasses. charts, data, facts, ANYTHING proving that is why our climate is changing

Answer 1

Many graphs here:

Answer 2

While carbon dioxide levels have risen for the last 10 years, the Earth has cooled, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change knows it.

The head of the ipcc (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has actually acknowledged it [that the Earth has cooled since 1998]. He talks about the apparent plateau in temperatures so far this century. So he recognizes that in this century, over the past eight years, temperatures have plateaued. … This is not what you’d expect, as I said, because if carbon dioxide is driving temperature then you’d expect that, given carbon dioxide levels have been continuing to increase, temperatures should be going up.

The head of the ipcc has suggested natural factors, such as solar activity, are countering global warming. These are the same factors that global warming proponents deride when skeptics suggest that they may be the deciding factors in global warming rather than carbon dioxide. The new discussion is a result of data gathered from nasa’s Aqua satellite launched in 2002:

What all the climate models suggest is that, when you’ve got warming from additional carbon dioxide, this will result in increased water vapor, so you’re going to get a positive feedback. That’s what the models have been indicating. What this great data from the NASA Aqua satellite … (is) actually showing is just the opposite, that with a little bit of warming, weather processes are compensating, so they’re actually limiting the greenhouse effect and you’re getting a negative rather than a positive feedback.

The entire global warming paradigm should collapse as a result of this new data but it's not likely because so many people are vested in this doom and gloom hoax.

Answer 3

If you can prove that CO2 is responsible for climate change, then you are better than all the climate scientists in the world.  It's just a theory and not a very good fit with real world data.

The world has warmed quite rapidly in the first half of the 20'th century, when there was much less CO2 and the world has been cooling for the last 10 years even though CO2 concentration has been relatively high.

Answer 4

Thats unfortunate because its not why the climate is changing

Answer 5

There are a number of sites that have global temperature trend graphs.  All of these will show the general trend of increasing global temperatures over the last 130 years or so for which records exist.  None provide any proof, or even quantitative relationship between this temperature trend and green house gases.
