Global temperatures, 1960 to 2014  

These two large graphs of “global” temperatures from 1960 to 2014 were produced by the “Interactive Graph Generator” on Paul Clark's “Wood For Trees” web site.
• The first graph shows the temperature indices with highest and lowest rates of warming (GISS and UAH6, respectively). Since the graph starts with 1960, but satellite measurements didn't begin until 1979, the UAH6 graph is extended back to 1960 with HadCRUT 3 & 4 (plus a decade of overlap). 
• The second graph shows 6 temperature indices: 4 from surface measurements, and 2 from satellites. 
• GISS shows about 0.8 °C of warming from 1960 to 2014. 
• UAH6 (extended by HadCRUT) shows about 0.4 °C of warming from 1960 to 2014. 
• Click here (or on the thumbnail) for an ENSO graph for this period (showing how the 1960 & 2014 starting & ending dates were chosen to avoid major ENSO spikes). 
• Click here to see how the information in these graphs can be used in climate sensitivity calculations.
