Recent years have been among the warmest since 1860 – the period for which instrumental records are available. Warming is evident in both sea surface and land-based surface air temperatures.

Indirect indicators such as borehole temperatures and glacier shrinkage provide independent support for the observed warming. It should also be noted that the warming has not been globally uniform. The recent warming has been greatest between 40°N and 70°N latitude, though some areas such as the North Atlantic Ocean have cooled in the recent decades.
