What's Warming The World?

What's Warming The World? by Bloomberg Business is a beautiful and subtle data visualization that answers the question that some folks still have problems with: what factors (= forcings) can account for the observed rise in temperature?
  • Natural forcings (solar, orbital, volcanic): No!
  • Human forcings (land use, ozone, aerosol pollution, GHG): Yes!
There is no new science here - these things have been known for quite a while, but the data viz is well-done. And minimalistic = letting the data to the talking.
