This dashboard explores climate patterns in the dataset, with a focus on temperature trends over time, monthly temperature patterns, and the relationship between CO2 and temperature.
The dashboard shows that temperature fluctuates considerably over time and across months, while CO2 concentrations generally remain high and tend to increase over the years. The CO2 versus temperature plots suggest a moderate positive relationship, where periods with higher carbon dioxide concentrations are often associated with higher temperatures. However, the relationship is not perfectly linear because temperature is also influenced by other factors in the dataset, such as precipitation, cloud cover, sea surface temperature, and seasonal variation across months. Overall, the dashboard supports the idea that rising CO2 levels may contribute to warming trends, while also showing that climate patterns are shaped by multiple interacting environmental variables. Missing values were handled using simple mean-based imputation, which is acceptable for exploratory analysis but should be interpreted cautiously.
