Skeptical ScienceThanks to worthy volunteer @kenrice we've updated our Escalator Earth temperature graph to include Berkeley Earth data thru 2022.
Created by super-volunteer Dana Nuccitelli, the Escalator dates back to 2011 and is the earliest model of a communication mode we're now terming AIV, "Autonomous Information Vehicles," presentations that operate on their own to engage people, can easily be shared, slip across social boundaries.
The escalator rises again
One of the most effective, and successful, graphics developed by Skeptical Science is the escalator. The escalator shows how global surface temperature anomalies vary with time, and illustrates how 'contrarians' tend to cherry-pick short time intervals so as to argue that there has been no recent warming, while 'realists' recognise that even though there can be short-term variability, the long-term trend clearly indicates the reality of global warming.
