GET YOUR OWN SIDEBAR WIDGET – INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:
This sidebar widget can be used for any website or blog by anyone free of charge.
There are only two requirements for its use:
1. It links back to this page so that others may find how to use it.
2. It is not modified or sold for any commercial purpose
Here is the HTML code to place in your WordPress or website sidebar:
<a href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/widget/"> <img title="Click to get your own widget" src="http://wcw.intelliweather.net/imagery/wcw/world_climate_widget_sidebar_166x223.gif" alt="Click to get your own widget" width="166" height="223" /></a>
Simply cut and paste the code into Notepad (or other text editor) to clear any formatting then paste into your website sidebar section as HTML.
Or you may also simply copy and paste the entire widget image from above. The image URL for the widget image is:

FOR MAC USERS:
If you want to add the image to Mac OS X Dashboard, open the link in Safari:
http://wcw.intelliweather.net/imagery/wcw/world_climate_widget_sidebar_166x223.gif
Select “Open in Dashboard” under the file menu.
Click on the image.
Click the “Add” button.
I make no guarantees on the timeliness of update or 24/7 availability of the widget. Typically it is updated once a month in the first week of the month.

Neat, Anthony! Is there a way to explain the purple line in a simple way?
REPLY: Mauna Loa CO2 in ppm since 1979 to match the UAH record. -A
Per Ron’s query, suggest using the same color for the line and CO2 ppm and text. They appear different to me.
Hmmmm they look like the same color to me…
Another suggestion is to put the label and color number closest to the line on the right.
e.g CO2 # on top right closest to the purple at the top right
Temperature anomaly # at the bottom right as closer to the temperature line.
Currently spotless days in this sunspot minimum would be an impressive number as it is breaking records – though sunspots is the useful more long lived parameter.
It might be interesting to experiment with red above the temperature line and blue below as hotter/cooler.
I have no website or blog. Anyway to get it on my google homepage as one of their wigets?
Suggest wrapping “Anomaly” onto the second line and overwrite the graph (its blank there).
That would give a simpler main line comparable to the CO2 line.
Suggest adding the leading “0” before the decimal point. The dot easily gets lost to where it looks like 42 C rather than 0.42 C.
On difference between Mike and my perceptions, suggest running the differences by a color blindness / communications checker so that most people can see the difference.
Possibly add right/left arrows to the line, though I would hope most would know CO2 is steadily increasing.
kewl.
They are different, per color picker from colorzilla
The text “388 ppm is color triplet 223:68:156
The CO2 trace on the graph is color triplet 214:7:223
I am red/green color blind and they appear very different to me.

I made some changes and updated the version number to Alpha 0.6
Comments welcome

Right now, the most fascinating thing to me is the way Dr. Spencer’s SST chart is leading the UAH Atmospheric chart around by the nose. I don’t know if it’d be possible, but it would make a great “overlay.”
Anthony,
Again thanks,
I have been looking for a site that consolidates important data and this latest is just great.
As an inbred moron, I’m not sure I did this right. I have it in the sidebar, but the link is back to this page. Do I win a Hansen award?
REPLY: That’s what is supposed to happen for now, later this page will contain more detailed info on climate…but this is all in development now. You did it right. -A
Excellent idea and well done. This is a visually appealing widget. Thanks for the effort!
Great Idea Anthony, great Widget.
For the future the following suggestion, please add:
1. sea level graph
2. Arctic and Antarctic Ice extend (or global ice extend to keep it simple)
3. Tropical Storm Activity
Any idea how to get this into Dashboard on OS X?
/Mr Lynn
REPLY: Does it have a feature to make a link to a web page? if so use that

You might want to add current IPCC projections as a baseline for the data – projected vs actual.
Would it be too wicked to show the range of IPCC temperature projections on the same graph, i.e. fantasy vs reality. Or just too impractical?
Solar Wind speed would be nice ?
Maybe something on Artic and Antarctic sea ice anomoly ?
Excellent little widget !!
solar wind would be nice……if it impacted climate……..
anolmaly!
Installed!
Many thanks for a cool widget.

Agree with GGM that solar windspeed would be a good addition, seems like there is room for more solar data and reduce the sunspot and flux info to the same font size as co2 and air temp.
Like it! Thanks Anthony.
Dear Anthony, very nice, added to http://motls.blogspot.com/
What is the normal period/dataset for the anomaly presented in this widget?
Could you separate the two lines vertically more to make sure a casual glance doesn’t misinterpret co2 as the temperature slope?
Hi
Any chance for a PHP version?
Added to my solar science blog even though its in hiatus as I don’t have enough time to update it 🙁
