Summary

Description
English: Three charts of global average temperature three respective time periods: 800,000 years, 2,000 years, and 139 years, showing current global warming in the perspective of geologic time.


Suggested text for use in articles:
Top chart: Earth's climate has cycled between ice ages and warm interglacial periods, with each cycle taking tens of thousands of years or more.
Middle chart: Global average temperature was in a cooling trend for thousands of years before fossil fuel based industrialization. Since then, it has increased about a full 1°C—in a time period less than 1/3,000th the width of the top chart.
Bottom chart: This 1°C increase, commonly called global warming, accelerated since 1980—a period less than 1/20,000th the width of the top chart.

SOURCES (and related explanations):
1. Top chart (800,000 years):
— Data itself:
— Chart is described in NASA "Earth observatory" webpage:
— Source provides 5,788 points of data for the 800,000 year period, with many more points for recent millennia than for ancient millennia. Accordingly, uploader RCraig09 averaged readings for each millennium to create a list of 800 data points (one for each millennium), which was used in Microsoft Excel to generate the top chart.
— Actual data is provided in expandable text, below.

— ABSTRACT: A high-resolution deuterium profile is now available along the entire European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica Dome C ice core, extending this climate record back to marine isotope stage 20.2, ~800,000 years ago. Experiments performed with an atmospheric general circulation model including water isotopes support its temperature interpretation. We assessed the general events and their smoothed Antarctic counterparts for this Dome C record, which reveals the presence of such features with similar during previous glacial periods. We suggest that the interplay between obliquity and precession accounts for the variable intensity interglacial periods in ice core records.
— GEOGRAPHIC REGION: Antarctica
