Darker tones indicate larger consumption (dark grey areas are missing from the dataset). Red hue
indicates increasing consumption, green hue indicates decreasing consumption, in the time between 1990
and 2001.
The maximal consumption displayed is 10,000 kgoe p.c. p.a., the only countries with higher values being
Qatar, Iceland and the United Arab Emirates. The change in consumption displayed ranges from -38%
(Romania) to +94% (Qatar)
This image shows the instrumental record of global average w:temperatures as compiled by the
w:NASA's w:Goddard Institute for Space Studies. The data set used follows the methodology outlined by
Hansen, J., et al. (2006) "Global temperature change". Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 103: 14288-14293.
Following the common practice of the IPCC, the zero on this figure is the mean temperature from 1961-
1990. The graph shows an overall long-term warming trend. In the 1880s, the global temperature anomaly
was on average slightly below -0.4 °C, while in the first decade of the 21st century, the anomaly was on
average almost +0.5 °C. This figure was originally prepared by Robert A. Rohde from publicly available
data and is incorporated into the Global Warming Art project.
