These stark coloured stripes represent the increase in global temperatures since 1850, one stripe per year, with dark blues used for colder years, and dark reds for warmer years. This visual representation of the latest scientific data on climate change helps start conversations about how human activities are fundamentally changing the weather and climate, and the difficult choices that need to be made about future actions necessary to stop global warming.

This version of the 'Climate Stripes' was shown at Hay Festival in 2018 and features the stripes for the town of Hay-on-Wye. It was the first public display of the 'Climate Stripes' concept.
