Description:
The global surface temperature (shown as annual anomalies from a 1850–1900 baseline) has increased by around 1.1°C since 1850–1900. The vertical bar on the right shows the estimated temperature (very likely range) during the warmest multicentury period in at least the last 100,000 years, which occurred around 6500 years ago during the current interglacial period (Holocene). Prior to that, the next most recent warm period was about 125,000 years ago, when the assessed multicentury temperature range [0.5 degree Celsius –1.5 degree Celsius] overlaps the observations of the most recent decade. These past warm periods were caused by slow (multi-millennial) orbital variations.
