Global average temperature, atmospheric CO2, and sunspot activity since 1850. Thick lines for temperature and sunspots represent a 25 year moving average smoothing of the raw data.

The plot can likely be updated for more recent data using these same script, though minor modifications may be required for changes in data formats, locations, etc.
