Image: Land vs Ocean Temperature
Description: Chart with data from NASA showing how land and sea surface air temperatures have changed vs the IPCC pre-industrial baseline of 1850 to 1900. The ocean is absorbing over 90% of excess heat trapped in the atmosphere, greatly limiting global temperature change but contributing to sea level rise, coral bleaching, and other adverse effects. Link to NASA GISS data access page and direct link to chart data, before being adjusted to be against IPCC baseline temp instead of mid century average.
