Week 2: Global Climate Story

This report presents a comprehensive exploration of climate change through three critical indicators: CO₂ emissions, temperature anomalies, and sea level rise. Spanning from 1750 to the present, it guides viewers through the historical trajectory of these metrics, compares shifts across distinct climate eras, evaluates proximity to global thresholds, and reveals the correlation between human activity and environmental impact.

Structured across four interconnected pages, the report offers:
1. Historic Trends – A long-term view of climate metrics from 1750 onward, highlighting the acceleration of change without reference to benchmarks.
2. Explore by Era – A breakdown of climate averages across key historical periods, with added insight into top CO₂-emitting entities.
3. Era vs Climate Benchmarks – A comparative analysis of each era against the 1950 baseline and global thresholds, including the Paris Agreement (1.5 °C) and IPCC upper limit (2.0 °C).
4. CO₂ and Climate Correlation – A visual exploration of the relationship between CO₂ emissions and rising temperatures and sea levels.

By combining historical data, benchmark comparisons, and correlation analysis, this 

report reveals both the scale of past change and the urgency of present challenges, offering a clear narrative for understanding climate dynamics and informing action.
