Today is #showyourstripes day. "These warming stripes are a powerful visual representation of how temperatures have increased around the world since the Industrial Revolution. Created by climate scientist Professor Ed Hawkins at the @UniofReading, each stripe represents one year, with colors transitioning from cool blues to warm reds to represent the increases in temperature seen throughout the past 150 years or more."
