Contemporary climate change involves rising global temperatures and significant shifts in Earth's weather patterns. Climate change is driven by emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. Emissions come mostly from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and also from agriculture, forest loss, cement production and steel making. Climate change causes sea level rise, glacial retreat and desertification, and intensifies heat waves, wildfires and tropical cyclones. These effects of climate change endanger food security, freshwater access and global health. Climate change can be limited by using low-carbon energy sources such as wind and solar energy, by forestation, and shifts in agriculture. Adaptations such as coastline protection cannot by themselves avert the risk of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts. Limiting global warming in line with the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement requires reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. This animation, produced by NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio with data from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, shows global surface temperature anomalies from 1880 to 2023 on a world map, illustrating the rise in global temperatures. Normal temperatures (calculated over the 30-year baseline period 1951–1980) are shown in white, higher-than-normal temperatures in red, and lower-than-normal temperatures in blue. The data are averaged over a running 24-month window.Video credit: NASA; visualized by Mark SubbaRao

Interesting Categories I've added
edit- Category:Shrines
- Category:Sideshow attractions
- Category:Circuses
- Category:College football teams
- Category:Commodity exchanges
- Category:Medical testing equipment
- Category:New York train stations
- Category:Creation stories
- Category:Abolitionists
- Category:State fairs
- Category:Fads
I spend lots of time categorizing...
Recently Done
editHorse racing categorizationCategory:Horse racingthe world of Category:Circuses is wide openCategory:College football is a messfix Category:Illinois state highwaysfix Category:European Union member states
To Do
edit- Pictures for LA Class submarinesCategory:Los Angeles class submarines up to Baton Rouge
- standardize state subcategories-- this is on hold for now
- organize US regional culture... right now culture in the US is a mess
- organize the Catholic Church regions of the US especially dioceses
- fix ghost towns
- working on Category:Orphaned categories
- American Civil war is a categorization mess.... I'll work on that too...
- Fix prisons category.... this is a weird one
- Category:United States Navy monitors needs help
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax
- I have the feeling that oceans, bays, seas et al need categorization...
- work on Category:Battles
- fix Category:Roman archaeological sites
- fix Category:Artillery
- fix Category:Chicago
- make Category:Veterinary medicine

- Hi! Thanks for uploading the following images: *[[:Image:Decant01.jpg]] *[[:Image:Chäfärzte01.jpg]] I notice it currently doesn't have an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image copyright tag]]. Could you add one to let us know its [[copyright]] status? (You can use <nowiki>{{gfdl}} if you release it under the [[GNU Free Documentation License]], <nowiki>{{fairuse}} if you claim [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just ''let me know [[User talk:Sortior|at my talk page]]'' where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. P.S. You can help tag other images at [[User:Yann/Untagged_Images]]. Thanks again.
