Monthly global surface air temperature anomalies relative to 1850–1900 from January 1940 to May 2024, plotted as time series for

temperature Temperature is one of the principal parameters of thermodynamics If no heat flow occurs between two objects, the objects have the same temperature; otherwise

temperature Given these 12 monthly records, the global average temperature for the last 12 months is also the highest on record, at
