Quick Access to Climate Trends

As reported in The Guardian today, the University of East Anglia has released an interactive Google Earth layer for accessing observed climate trends within 5 by 5 degree grid boxes or at individual observing sites.  

Climate trends for grid boxes are accessed simply by navigating with Google Earth to the area of interest and then clicking on the grid box.

You can then access individual stations by clicking on stations on the pop up window.  Below is the time series for Salt Lake City.  

You can access the layer/KML file here and play around with it yourself.  It is also easy to access data for grid boxes or stations if you are so inclined.   Enjoy!
