How much has temperature in your region raised? Did global warming modify the climate of your country? The answer is just a click away. You only need to download CRUTEM4 for Google Earth, released by the research unit (UEA CRU) of the University of East Anglia. It contains temperature data collected by 6,000 weather stations
Although for the first time results let us hope that CO2 emissions are decreasing globally, there are no countries holding the top three positions in the 2014 edition of the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) jointly released by Germanwatch and the European Climate Change Network (CCN).
