This map shows 20 years of all-time temperature records from the 100,000 approved weather stations in the NOAA GHCN-Daily database. 

该地图（请点击原文链接查看，本网站无法上传小视频）显示了NOAA GHCN-Daily数据库中100,000个已批准气象站的20年历史温度记录。

Each dot show the highest or lowest min or max temerature ever recorded at a station. Around 40,000 all-time records were set in the last two decades, out of 500 million daily min and max entires.

每个点显示有史以来记录的最高或最低温度。 在过去的二十年中，有大约40,000个历史记录，每天最少和最多5亿。

Slowing down time highlights expectional cold and hot spells. For example, the US west coast saw some biting temperature in 1998/89.

慢下来的时间突出了预期的冷和热的时间。例如，1998/89年美国西海岸有一些异常的温度。

And some blistering heat in the summer of 2002.

2002年夏天有些热气腾腾。

Here's the 2003 European heatwave that killed tens of thousands of people.

这是2003年的欧洲热浪，造成数万人死亡。

And a flash of freezing conditions that hit Asia in early 2016.

2016年初，一股冰冻天气袭击了亚洲。

Speeding the visual up and plotting the highs and lows per month shows the seasonal pattern. The bigger peaks reflect the northern hemisphere, which has more approved weather stations than the southern.

加快视觉速度并绘制每月的高点和低点，显示季节性模式。 较大的山峰反映了北半球的情况，它拥有比南部更加认可的气象站。

This endless oscillation between hot and cold makes it difficult to see and feel the climate change "singnal" amidst the weather "noise". But what happens if we count the highs and lows? 

在炎热和寒冷之间的这种无休止的振荡使得在天气“噪音”中难以看到和感受到气候变化“信号”。 但是，如果我们计算高点和低点会发生什么？

The whole multi-century dataset has an equal number of highs and lows. But in the last 20 years the highs outnumber the lows by almost 50%-a stark reflection of the rapid warming the planet has been experiencing.

整个多世纪的数据集具有相同数量的高点和低点。 但在过去的20年中，高点几乎超过了低点50％ - 这是地球一直在经历的快速变暖的明显反映。
