This chart visualizes annual global temperature anomalies, showing how each year’s mean air temperature deviates from a long-term average (baseline). Positive bars indicate warmer-than-average years, while negative bars represent cooler-than-average years. This kind of chart is commonly used in climate science to illustrate global warming trends over time, and is useful when you want to show the trend in changes around a particular value (in this case zero).
