A line graph is shown. It is titled, Annual Degrees Above Average (°C), and represents the annual degrees above the twentieth-century average for the Northern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere, and the globe for the years 2000 to 2010. The x-axis represents the years and the y-axis represents the degrees above the twentieth-century average in degrees Celsius. The y-axis scale begins at 0 degrees and ranges to 1.4 degrees Celsius in increments of tenths. The x-axis scale begins at the year 2000 and goes to the year 2010 in increments of one year. The degrees above twentieth-century average data are as follows for the Northern Hemisphere:For 2000, it was 0.74 degree above average. For 2001, it was 0.94 degree above average. For 2002, it was 1.01 degrees above average. For 2003, it was 0.94 degree above average. For 2004, it was 0.85 degree above average. For 2005, it was 1.10 degrees above average. For 2006, it was 0.99 degree above average. For 2007, it was 1.23 degrees above average. For 2008, it was 0.94 degree above average. For 2009, it was 0.90 degree above average. For 2010, it was 1.18 degrees above average.The degrees above twentieth-century average data are as follows for the Southern Hemisphere:For 2000, it was 0.35 degree above average. For 2001, it was 0.49 degree above average. For 2002, it was 0.75 degree above average. For 2003, it was 0.76 degree above average. For 2004, it was 0.70 degree above average. For 2005, it was 0.91 degree above average. For 2006, it was 0.70 degree above average. For 2007, it was 0.75 degree above average. For 2008, it was 0.65 degree above average. For 2009, it was 0.90 degree above average. For 2010, it was 0.78 degree above average.The degrees above twentieth-century average data are as follows for the globe:For 2000, it was 0.63 degree above average. For 2001, it was 0.82 degree above average. For 2002, it was 0.93 degree above average. For 2003, it was 0.89 degree above average. For 2004, it was 0.81 degree above average. For 2005, it was 1.05 degrees above average. For 2006, it was 0.91 degree above average. For 2007, it was 1.09 degrees above average. For 2008, it was 0.86 degree above average. For 2009, it was 0.90 degree above average. For 2010, it was 1.07 degrees above average.The y axis is titled, Degrees Above 20th Century Average in Celsius, and the x axis is labeled the year. The y axis starts at zero and ends at 1.4, and the x axis starts at the year 2000 and ends at 2010. There are three lines: the blue line is labeled the northern hemisphere, the red line is labeled global and the green line is labeled southern hemisphere. All three lines steadily increase, (blue starts at .8, green starts at .3 and red starts at .6) All three lines meet at the year 2009, and Southern hemisphere decreases in 2010.
