Carbon dioxide concentration:

1860 288 parts per million (ppm).
1900 291 ppm
1980 332 ppm
1999. 370 ppm
2021 414.72 parts per million

Conservative logic: If the circle isn't big all the time, then we cannot say that the circle is growing.

And yes, I've heard arguments to that effect.

@conradhackett I never noticed that there was a measurable impact to global temperature from WW2! From 1940-1945 there were a series of years that were disproportionately warmer than their neighbours before & after.

@conradhackett I showed a version of this spiral chart to journalism students a couple of years ago, and then showed them the famous "climate stripes" chart, and asked them which they thought was more effective at communicating the data visually.

Most picked this one.

Show threadPřemek BradaDec 7, 2022

@conradhackett Nice and telling. I thought it might be interesting to have colour-coding for the time dimension, rather than temperature (which is coded in the radial axis). Might work better for the static picture in which this aspect is no longer visible.

Actually, the original climate spiral website has one such visualization - and the animated version is quite powerful IMHO. https://www.climate-lab-book.ac.uk/spirals/

The NASA Climate Spiral is a great illustration, with a terrific ending (shown here - sorry, spoiler). So interesting to see such rapid development of scientific visualization tools.

Nice teaching tool. Go to the NASA link for different download options.
