According to an April 2024 survey on climate change conducted in the United States, some ** percent of the respondents claimed they believed that global warming was happening. A much smaller share, ** percent, believed global warming was not happening.

This work combines global warming data from various publications and datasets, creating a new dataset covering a very long period - from the year 1 to 2100.

The dataset created in this work separates the actual records for the 1-2024 period from the forecast for the 2020-2100 period.

The work includes separate sets for land+ocean (GW), land only (GWL), and ocean only (GWO).

The online dataset is available on the site nowagreen.com.

The United States contributed roughly 17 percent of global warming from 1851 to 2023. By contrast, India contributed five percent of warming during this period, despite the country having a far larger population than the United States. In total, G20 countries have contributed approximately three-quarters of global warming to date, while the least developed countries are responsible for just six percent.

According to an ********** survey on climate change conducted in the United States, approximately ** percent of the respondents claimed they heard about global warming in the media at least once a week. Just ***** percent of respondents stated that they had never heard about global warming in the media.

Abstract

Compilation of Earth Surface temperatures historical. Source: https://www.kaggle.com/berkeleyearth/climate-change-earth-surface-temperature-data

Documentation

Data compiled by the Berkeley Earth project, which is affiliated with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature Study combines 1.6 billion temperature reports from 16 pre-existing archives. It is nicely packaged and allows for slicing into interesting subsets (for example by country). They publish the source data and the code for the transformations they applied. They also use methods that allow weather observations from shorter time series to be included, meaning fewer observations need to be thrown away.

In this dataset, we have include several files:

Global Land and Ocean-and-Land Temperatures (GlobalTemperatures.csv):

This dataset contains modeled temperature, ozone, and PM2.5 data for the United States over the 21st century, using two global climate model scenarios and two emissions datasets.

This dataset includes processed climate change datasets related to climatology, hydrology, and water operations. The climatological data provided are change factors for precipitation and reference evapotranspiration gridded over the entire State. The hydrological data provided are projected stream inflows for major streams in the Central Valley, and streamflow change factors for areas outside of the Central Valley and smaller ungaged watersheds within the Central Valley. The water operations data provided are Central Valley reservoir outflows, diversions, and State Water Project (SWP) and Central Valley Project (CVP) water deliveries and select streamflow data. Most of the Central Valley inflows and all of the water operations data were simulated using the CalSim II model and produced for all projections.

These data were originally developed for the California Water Commission’s Water Storage Investment Program (WSIP). The WSIP data used as the basis for these climate change resources along with the technical reference document are located here: https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/climate-change-projections-wsip-2030-2070. Additional processing steps were performed to improve user experience, ease of use for GSP development, and for Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) implementation. Furthermore, the data, tools, and guidance may be useful for purposes other than sustainable groundwater management under SGMA.

Data are provided for projected climate conditions centered around 2030 and 2070. The climate projections are provided for these two future climate periods, and include one scenario for 2030 and three scenarios for 2070: a 2030 central tendency, a 2070 central tendency, and two 2070 extreme scenarios (i.e., one drier with extreme warming and one wetter with moderate warming). The climate scenario development process represents a climate period analysis where historical interannual variability from January 1915 through December 2011 is preserved while the magnitude of events may be increased or decreased based on projected changes in precipitation and air temperature from general circulation models.

2070 Extreme Scenarios Update, September 2020

DWR has collaborated with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to improve the quality of the 2070 extreme scenarios. The 2070 extreme scenario update utilizes an improved climate period analysis method known as "quantile delta mapping" to better capture the GCM-projected change in temperature and precipitation. A technical note on the background and results of this process is provided here: https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/extreme-climate-change-scenarios-for-water-supply-planning/resource/f2e1c61a-4946-4863-825f-e6d516b433ed.

Data description

The FAOSTAT Temperature Change domain disseminates statistics of mean surface temperature change by country, with annual updates. The current dissemination covers the period 1961–2023. Statistics are available for monthly, seasonal and annual mean temperature anomalies, i.e., temperature change with respect to a baseline climatology, corresponding to the period 1951–1980. The standard deviation of the temperature change of the baseline methodology is also available. Data are based on the publicly available GISTEMP data, the Global Surface Temperature Change data distributed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Institute for Space Studies (NASA-GISS).

Inspiration

Climate change is one of the important issues that face the world in this technological era. The best proof of this situation is the historical temperature change. You can investigate if any hope there is for stopping global warming :)

• Can you find any correlation between temperature change and any other variable? (Using ISO3 codes for merging any other countries' data sets possible.)

• Prediction of temperature change: there is also an overall world temperature change in the country list as 'World'.

According to an April 2024 survey on climate change conducted in the United States, some 36 percent of respondents thought that global warming is affecting the weather a lot. Only eight percent of respondents claimed that global warming was affecting the weather just a little.

Maximum temperature and rainfall observed data files were downloaded from the IRI Data Library as well as the model predicted 850-to-500 geopotential thickness fields (used to predict maximum temperature over southern Africa) and 850 circulation data fields (predictor for rainfall). Model Output statistics in CPT - climate predictability tool, was set up using CCA - canonical correlation analysis to produce retroactive forecasts. MATLAB was further utilized to post-process / fine-tune the output from CPT and to produce other results. The researcher used the output from the global climate model to develop a statistical model for maximum temperature seasonal forecasts for Southern Africa.

Global warming vs climate change

Many people use these two terms interchangeably, but we think it’s important to acknowledge their differences. Global warming is an increase in the Earth’s average surface temperature from human-made greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, climate change refers to the long-term changes in the Earth’s climate, or a region on Earth, and includes more than just the average surface temperature. For example, variations in the amount of snow, sea levels, and sea ice can all be consequences of climate change.

Annual averages of global surface temperature changes for land only based on Berkeley Earth monthly dataset above the 1951-1980 baseline. The dataset is from 1750 in °C, 3 decimal places.

As part of this national strategy, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) had launched a 5-year (FY2007 - 2011) initiative called the Innovative Program of Climate Change Projection for the 21st Century (KAKUSHIN Program), using the Earth Simulator (ES) to address emerging research challenges, such as those derived from the outcomes of the MEXT's Kyosei Project (FY2002 - 2006), that had made substantial contributions to the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The KAKUSHIN Program was expected to further contribute to the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).

The research items include the advancement and forecasting of global warming models, the quantification and reduction of model uncertainty, and the evaluation of the impacts of natural disasters based on forecast information. Much of the data submitted to CMIP5 from Japan were generated under this KAKUSHIN program using the global climate models and the Earth system models developed in Japan. This dataset is the result of using the Global Climate Model MIROC4h.

All CMIP5 data are collected, managed, and published by the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF), and DIAS serves as an ESGF node. All public datasets, including this dataset, are available from ESGF. For information on how to use these datasets, including this dataset, see "CMIP5 Data - Getting Started" (URL is available in the online information below). Please note that an ESGF account is required to download the CMIP5 data.

Because the terms of use for CMIP5 data are different from CMIP6 in many respects, please check the following Terms of Use carefully: https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/mips/cmip5/terms-of-use.html Currently, all CMIP5 data, including this dataset, is classified as "unrestricted" within it.

To analyze public discourse on climate change and global warming within the vast dataset of Reddit posts from 2005 to 2021, a rigorous filtering process was employed to isolate climate-related discussions. Starting with over 11.5 billion posts, a series of carefully designed regular expressions were used to identify and extract posts explicitly mentioning key terms and phrases associated with climate change. These included "climate change," "global warming," "carbon emissions," and references to significant environmental agreements like the Paris Accord and Kyoto Protocol. The expressions were crafted to capture a wide range of relevant discussions while excluding posts that mentioned "climate" in non-environmental contexts, such as "political climate" or "economic climate." This step was crucial in ensuring that the analysis focused solely on discussions pertinent to global environmental change.After applying these filters, the dataset was narrowed down to approximately 15.3 million posts, representing just 0.134% of the original dataset. To further refine the data, language detection was performed using two independent libraries, Polyglot and LangDetect, to ensure that only English-language posts were included. This dual verification process resulted in a final dataset of approximately 1.5 million posts, all of which were confirmed to be in English.The curated dataset was then subjected to detailed analysis, including sentiment analysis, polarity and subjectivity assessment, and readability evaluation. By focusing on this carefully selected subset of posts, the study was able to provide meaningful insights into how climate change and global warming are discussed across various communities on Reddit. This approach allowed for a nuanced understanding of public engagement with climate-related topics, revealing trends in sentiment, language complexity, and the shifting terminology used in these discussions over time.

This data visualizes the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) expected warming degrees based on pledges and current policies.CAT is a science-based project that tracks government climate action and measures it against the globally agreed Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. CAT monitors what governments are doing to reduce climate change. It compares their actions to the goals of the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius.The temperatures shown are mid-point estimates (medians) of what the Earth's temperature could be in 2100, based on current government pledges and policies (NDCs). There's a 50% chance the actual temperature could be higher if these actions are followed. The CAT uses a climate model called MAGICC7 to make these estimates.Data originally from Climate Action Tracker.

A simulation of projected changes in mean annual precipitation from the period 1975 to 1995 to the period 2040 to 2060, is shown on this map. On average, precipitation increases, but it is not evenly distributed geographically. There are marked regions of decreasing, as well as increasing precipitation, over both land and ocean. Annual average precipitation generally increases over northern continents, and particularly during the winter. Warmer surface temperature would speed up the hydrological cycle at least partially, resulting in faster evaporation and more precipitation. The results are based on climate change simulations made with the Coupled Global Climate Model developed by Environment Canada.

The most comprehensive dataset to date regarding climate change and human opinions via Twitter. It has the heftiest temporal coverage, spanning over 13 years, includes over 15 million tweets spatially distributed across the world, and provides the geolocation of most tweets. Seven dimensions of information are tied to each tweet, namely geolocation, user gender, climate change stance and sentiment, aggressiveness, deviations from historic temperature, and topic modeling, while accompanied by environmental disaster events information. These dimensions were produced by testing and evaluating a plethora of state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms and methods, both supervised and unsupervised, including BERT, RNN, LSTM, CNN, SVM, Naive Bayes, VADER, Textblob, Flair, and LDA.

The following columns are in the dataset:

➡ created_at: The timestamp of the tweet. ➡ id: The unique id of the tweet. ➡ lng: The longitude the tweet was written. ➡ lat: The latitude the tweet was written. ➡ topic: Categorization of the tweet in one of ten topics namely, seriousness of gas emissions, importance of human intervention, global stance, significance of pollution awareness events, weather extremes, impact of resource overconsumption, Donald Trump versus science, ideological positions on global warming, politics, and undefined. ➡ sentiment: A score on a continuous scale. This scale ranges from -1 to 1 with values closer to 1 being translated to positive sentiment, values closer to -1 representing a negative sentiment while values close to 0 depicting no sentiment or being neutral. ➡ stance: That is if the tweet supports the belief of man-made climate change (believer), if the tweet does not believe in man-made climate change (denier), and if the tweet neither supports nor refuses the belief of man-made climate change (neutral). ➡ gender: Whether the user that made the tweet is male, female, or undefined. ➡ temperature_avg: The temperature deviation in Celsius and relative to the January 1951-December 1980 average at the time and place the tweet was written. ➡ aggressiveness: That is if the tweet contains aggressive language or not.

Since Twitter forbids making public the text of the tweets, in order to retrieve it you need to do a process called hydrating. Tools such as Twarc or Hydrator can be used to hydrate tweets.

Derived climate model projections data produced as part of the UK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) project. The data produced by the UK Met Office Hadley Centre provides information on changes in 21st century climate for the UK helping to inform adaptation to a changing climate.

The derived climate model projections are estimated using a methodology based on time shift and other statistical approaches applied to a set of 28 projections comprising of 15 coupled simulations produced by the Met Office Hadley Centre, and 13 coupled simulations from CMIP5. The derived climate model projections exist for the RCP2.6 emissions scenario and for 2°C and 4°C global warming above pre-industrial levels.

The derived climate model projections are provided on a 60km spatial grid for the UK region and the projections consist of time series for the RCP2.6 emissions scenario that cover 1900-2100 and a 50 year time series for each of the global warming levels.

This dataset contains realisations scenario with global warming stabilised at 4°C
