Temperature Reconstruction


Data has been collected from 73 different site around the world and compiled to reconstruct the Earth's temperature over the past 11,300 years. The data reveals that the temperature on Earth today is warmer than it has been during 70-80% data collected. The graph below shows the main findings from the project.
