Week 2: Climate Signals – Temperature, Emissions, and Rising Seas
Overview
This report explores how human activity translates into measurable climate impacts by connecting global temperature anomalies, regional CO₂ emissions, and rising sea levels.
Using open-source datasets from NOAA and Our World in Data, the visualization highlights long-term climate signals and regional differences to support evidence-based understanding of climate change.
What this report shows
• Global temperature anomalies relative to the 1971–2000 baseline
• Per-capita CO₂ emissions trends across major world regions
• Global mean sea level rise as a long-term climate impact
The narrative follows a clear progression from emissions → warming → impact.
Audience
This report is designed for climate researchers, policy analysts, sustainability teams, and data practitioners seeking to understand global climate trends and regional dynamics.
