The change in annual surface air temperature resulting from historical anthropogenic climate forcing.

Caption

The change in annual surface air temperature resulting from historical anthropogenic climate forcing. The change in temperature is calculated using 21 climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), and is the ensemble-mean difference between the CMIP5 Historical and Natural forcing experiments during the IPCC's historical baseline period (1986-2005).
