To help frame the story between climate warming, extreme weather events, and the associated health, safety and economic impacts in your community
Show Your Stripes Day is Happening June 21st!
Show Up for Stripes Day on June 21!
On June 21, join meteorologists, journalists, content creators, climate scientists, and cities around the world for "Show Your Stripes Day” – an event dedicated to growing global awareness about human-caused climate change.
Warming stripes turn climate science into art, sparking conversations about climate change’s cascading impacts to our health and our homes, and what we as a society can do to ensure a sustainable future for the people and places we love.
Fueled by carbon pollution, this unprecedented global warming is influencing an increase in both the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, including record-breaking heat waves, severe storms, extensive droughts, and destructive wildfires in the U.S. and across the world.
🔵🔴 Climate Warming Stripes transform climate data into a powerful visual. Each stripe represents one year and the color corresponds to whether the temperature was warmer than (red) or cooler than (blue) the long-term average.
