English: Warming stripes graphic as background to conventional line chart showing the same data series (global average surface temperature from Berkeley Earth)
Technical note: most SVG code was automatically generated by the "warming stripes" and "line charts" spreadsheets linked at User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG. Additions and adjustments were made in a text editor.
Colors are sixteen original ColorBrewer colors chosen by warming stripes inventor, climate scientist Dr. Ed Hawkins
The temperature range coveered by each color was chosen as 0.12 °C per color, in order to use use all sixteen colors without clipping.
The "border" temperature between red and blue stripes was chosen as the average of the highest and lowest temperature values (not as an average of a date range as is customary in warming stripes).
