ClimateChange


Climate change is an increasingly growing concern in today’s world. Global warming without doubt is a topic of discussion. We are able to see the several impacts of Climate change happening across the United States- and across the globe. Things that we value the most like Water, Agriculture, Transportation, and human health a re all being impacted. Ecosystems are affected, and Changes are also occurring in the ocean.

In this project, we are interesting in studying the effect of extreme temperatures and their effects that is happening Globally and predominantly in the United States.

Maximum Temperature


The dataset is extracted from Extreme Temperature Records by state on NOAA website. Source : https://www.climate.gov/maps-data/dataset/extreme-weather-records-state-data-table

As it can be seen in the bar chart, among the states of USA, California is seen to be having the maximum temperature records and the next closest is Arizona.

The highest temperature over time is seen to be 134 degrees F in California and around 128 degrees F in Arizona.

Minimum Temperature


We observed the Extreme Minimum temperatures of all states within USA. It can be seen that coldest temperature of -80 Degree F at Alaska , whereas Montana is seen to have a lowest temperature record of -70 degree F.

Global Temperature Anomalies


One of the most obvious indications of climate change is increase of global increase in temperature for the past several year over several decades.

We also chose to study the Global Temperature Anomalies data obtained from Climate.gov website which created this dataset by blending the land and ocean data. We utilized this data to understand the trend of temperature anomalies over time.

As it can be clearly seen, the graph shows a progression of increasing temperature anomalies especially in the 20th century which also acts as a proof that Climate change is Real.
