All data on this site is free, live and citable. Every chart draws directly from peer-reviewed scientific datasets - Berkeley Earth, NOAA, NASA, NSIDC, EM-DAT and more. The pages below are mapped to UK GCSE and A-level Geography, IB Environmental Systems & Societies, and AP Environmental Science.
Content by Topic
Content
Plain-English guide to the greenhouse effect, feedback loops, tipping points and the Paris Agreement. The best starting point for any student.
Atmospheric CO₂, methane and N₂O from ice-core records through to today. Covers the chemistry and sources of each gas.
Live disaster alerts and 60-year EM-DAT trends for floods, wildfires, droughts, cyclones and heatwaves. Excellent for hazard case studies.
Country-level annual emissions, per-capita rankings and cumulative historical totals. Essential for responsibility and policy discussions.
Live whole-planet temperature anomalies, CO₂ concentration, sea ice and ENSO state in one dashboard. Ideal for illustrating current conditions.
The nine Earth-system thresholds defining a safe operating space for humanity. A core framework in IB ESS and A-level.
Ocean heat content, sea level rise and Arctic / Antarctic ice extent with long-term charts. Key data for coastal and cryosphere topics.
El Niño and La Niña - live state, NOAA forecast and global impacts on rainfall, droughts and temperatures. Covers ocean-atmosphere coupling.
How climate change is moving spring and autumn timing worldwide. Real phenology data ideal for ecosystem and biosphere topics.
Year-on-year temperature spiral for the globe and 160+ countries and regions. Makes the long-term warming trend visually unmistakable - excellent for presentations and coursework.
ENSO, NAO, polar vortex and CO₂ compounded in one interactive stack with live data and a 9-season forecast. Shows how climate drivers interact and amplify each other.
