What do the climate stripes mean?

The climate stripes chart, designed by Professor Ed Hawkins at the University of Reading, was developed in 2017 as a way to visualise the rate at which our planet is warming.

Thicker bands of deep red stripes tend to appear on the right hand side of the graphics, showing how human action has contributed to a heating up of the climate in more recent years.

BBC Weather's Matt Taylor explains what the different graphics show.
