caption_attribution_description: English: Warming stripes graphic depicting annual mean global temperatures (1850-2018, from World Meteorological Organization data)), said in the reference to have been produced for the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) provisional State of the Climate report General notes: Credit for general concept of warming stripes: climate scientist Ed Hawkins, University of Reading, U.K. Data values are visualized using color rather than locations of points on a graph. Horizontal scale is time, from 1850 (left) to 2018 (right). Data is global (not for a locality).
context_page_description: Climate communication or climate change communication is a field of environmental communication and science communication focused on facilitating the communications of the effects of anthropogenic climate change. Most climate communication focuses on bringing knowledge about and potential action for responding to scientific consensus on climate change to a broader public.
  The field of climate communication explores two main areas: the efficacy of existing communications strategies, and supporting the development of recommendations for improving that communication. Improving climate change communication has become the focus of several major research institutes, such as the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and Climate Outreach in the UK, as well as major international organizations, such as the IPCC and UN Climate Change Secretariat, and NGOs.
