The chart above shows the stunning change in the UK’s electricity generation mix over the last century. 100 years ago coal was king, whereas today it’s a small and shrinking part of the mix.
Monthly Global Temperature 1850-2019 Compared To Average Monthly Temperature
The chart above shows monthly global temperatures between 1850 and 2019 (compared to the 1961-1990 average monthly temperature). It has been more than 25 years since a month has been cooler than normal. Data comes from the HADCRUT4 temperature database.

Light Speed: Really Fast, But Also Really Slow
Created by Dr James O’Donoghue found via reddit
The animation above does a great job showing both how fast and slow light speed really is. The speed of light is theoretically the fastest speed you can travel in the universe. At 299,792,458 m/s (186,282 miles per second) it is really, really fast. However, given how vast space is, it’s also really, really slow.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions By Country Between 1850 & 2016
Robert Rohde
The animation above shows annual greenhouse gas emissions by country between 1850 and 2016. And spoiler the US is consistently the largest emitter of greenhouse gases until the last decade when China dramatically overtakes it.
The data comes from the The PRIMAP-hist national historical emissions time series. You can also watch Robert Rohde’s original video below:
