British climate researcher Ed Hawkins from the University of Reading has impressively succeeded in gaining a better understanding of global warming with a striped pattern. Global warming has long been noticeable and is no longer an outlier, but is developing at breakneck speed into a threat for humans and nature.

Each stripe represents the average temperature per year.
What immediately catches the eye is the drastic warming in recent years. The stripes change from blue to mainly red, which in turn clearly shows the rise in temperature.
Under #Showyourstripes, data from all over the world is collected and visualised.
Test
The annual average temperature is visualised in a striped pattern and the data comes from weather services and the Berkeley Earth measurement data set.
For each country, the average temperature in the period 1971-2000 is defined as the boundary between blue and red colours. Source: https://showyourstripes.info
