Climate Explainer Charts
A sunspot comparison for cycle 24 and the current cycle, 25. At this moment, after three full years cycle 25 is 10% more active than the previous cycle, 24. Sunspots give us an idea on how
RSS data from 1980-2021 (present) and 5 & 11 year moving averages, highlighting each November in the series. Note the changes in slope for the last ten years.
NOAA's AGGI index broken down in terms of equivalent pCO2 PPM.
This is a compendium of major climate reconstructions created over the last decade. The two most recent papers (Bova, et al, 2021 and Osman, et al, 2021) show a very quiet planet the last 9000 years until the 20th century.
PIOMAS Monthly Arctic ice volume (thousands of cubic kilometers) over the entire history of the data series. The major concern is the very dramatic volume losses in the July-November periods- we are losing the Arctic.
This is monthly average solar insolation (visible light received at the earth's top of atmosphere) since 1700, and the implied temperature difference (albedo = 0.30) from average. This shows the total difference in temperature highest to lowest due strictly to solar influences is only 0.13°C
