From the end of the last ice age around 10,000 years ago, Earth experienced a relatively stable climate, and human societies have flourished. The industrial revolution, beginning in the 18th Century, began the loading of the atmosphere with greenhouse gases. This is warming our planet at a rate never previously experienced and climate hazards are increasing. Sea-levels are rising, storminess is increasing, extreme heat is more common, and rainfall and droughts are disrupting societies and agriculture.

The oceans dominate the decadal to millennial patterns of climate and have so far absorbed 90% of all the excess warming and 25% of greenhouse gas emissions. While mitigating some of the short-term climate changes the climate balances at the slow rate of the oceans, committing the Earth to many hundreds of years of change. Learning how we can effectively mitigate or adapt to the changing climate is one that is fundamentally about better understanding the ocean now and better understanding its future changes. By Prof Stuart Cunningham, Physical Oceanographer, Scottish Association for Marine Science.

We used the Warming Stripes for GLOBE from 1850-2020 by Prof. Ed Hawkins, University of Reading, with data from Berkeley Earth, NOAA, UK Met Office, MeteoSwiss, DWD, SMHI, UoR, Meteo France & ZAMG.

Each scarf is paired with its written ocean literacy story, sharing the science and images that inspired the collection.
