"Show Your Stripes" Climate Change Chart All The Summer Solstice Rage

Climate change strips for Vermont. Notice the
heavier reds toward the right, which represent
more recent years

There's a campaign on social media called "Show Your Stripes,"

It's all related to climate change, and is a way for activists, weather and climate geeks and others to highlight how things have changed since the 1800s. 

As the Boston Globe reports:

"The climate stripes project was developed by Ed Hawkins, a climate scientist at the University of Reading, England. In these images, the stripes show how temperatures have changed since the mid to late 1800s. Blue represents a colder than average year while red represents a warmer than average one and the deeper the color, the more extreme the (departure from average)."

You can obtain the stripes for anywhere in the world at this link.  The stripes in this post represent the state of Vermont. As you can see, there's a lot more red and orange to the right, representing warmth which is the more recent years.

I've checked out stripes for other locations and have seen quite a lot of variability in the degree the stripes change. Some areas have barely warmed, others have really heated up. Vermont seems to be heating up a little more strongly than many other locations.
