This is a series of graphical animations that compare the contribution of natural factors (including orbital changes, variability in the sun's temperature, volcanic action, deforestation, ozone pollution levels, and aerosols) to the contribution of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide, to increases in global atmospheric temperature... in a visual and concise way.

This animation shows the Arctic sea ice September (minimum) extents from 1979-2023. Accessible from http://nsidc.org/cryosphere/sotc/sea_ice.html

This animation depicts real-time wind speed and direction at selected heights above Earth's surface, ocean surface currents, and ocean surface temperatures and anomalies.

This resource includes primarily a text and animation to demonstrate the changes in prime movers of electricity generation in the United States between 1891 and 2021. The information is related back to the feasibility of certain prime movers that are used today.

This monthly bulletin and animation provides regular and reliable visualizations of world weather and climate events of the previous month using NOAA data. Archives are available from October 2011 to present.

This series of visualizations show the annual Arctic sea ice minimum from 1979 to 2024. The decrease in Arctic sea ice over time is shown in an animation and a graph plotted simultaneously, but can be parsed so that the change in sea ice area can be shown without the graph.

This animated map shows prevailing surface wind direction and strength across the lower 48 states of the US.

This multi-tool hub presents visualizations and videos that show up-to-date climate change information and pathways to action. There are resources that integrate science, art, math, and other topics that promote systems thinking.
