Week 2: Climate Change Over Time

Climate Change Insights Report – Approach & Visuals

Objective: Highlight historical and projected climate impacts, linking CO₂ emissions, global warming, and sea-level rise.

Visuals & Approach:

• Temperature & Emissions Trends: Line and column charts show global temperature anomalies, per-capita CO₂ rise, and peak emission years.

• Sea-Level Rise: Historical and projected trends, including YoY 10-year rolling averages, illustrate acceleration in recent decades.

• Combined Analysis: Correlation charts connect emissions, warming, and sea-level rise, emphasizing human-driven climate change.

• Key Takeaways: Rapid warming and rising seas highlight long-term, potentially irreversible impacts, presented clearly with visualization.

Overall Insight: Data-driven visuals demonstrate that Emissions are the main driver of recent climate change, with accelerating temperature and sea-level rise.
