What this means
Compare how much warmer each country's land surface was than the 1951-1980 climate.
Larger warming versus the 1951-1980 baseline; smaller warming, or cooling, versus the 1951-1980 baseline.
Methodology & source
Values are FAOSTAT Temperature change on land, meteorological year, from NASA GISTEMP via FAO. They are modelled land-surface temperature anomalies in °C relative to the 1951-1980 GISTEMP/FAOSTAT climatology, not Paris Agreement pre-industrial 1850-1900. GISTEMP interpolates station observations onto a land grid; FAO area-weights that grid to countries using GAUL boundaries. FAOSTAT flags O (missing value), L (not collected), and M are skipped; blank cells are never converted to 0 °C. Negative anomalies are kept. OurBlueDot does not interpolate, fill missing years, or replace missing values with zero. Country rows are joined FAO M49 → ISO 3166-1 alpha-3; China uses M49 156; FAO China 159 and regional aggregates are excluded. Map ranks are comparable-sample competition ranks among currently loaded countries (rank 1 is the largest warming). Missing countries remain without a value.

FAOSTAT Temperature change on land, element Temperature change (7271), meteorological year (months code 7020), from NASA GISTEMP via FAO. Values are modelled land-surface temperature anomalies in °C relative to the 1951-1980 GISTEMP/FAOSTAT climatology, not Paris Agreement pre-industrial 1850-1900. GISTEMP interpolates station observations onto a land grid; FAO area-weights that grid to countries using GAUL boundaries. Official bulk catalog 2026-03; rows joined FAO M49 → ISO 3166-1 alpha-3. China uses M49 156; FAO China 159 and regional aggregates are excluded. FAOSTAT flags O (missing value), L (not collected), and M are skipped. Blank cells are skipped and are never converted to 0 °C. OurBlueDot does not interpolate, fill missing years, or replace missing values with zero. Negative anomalies are kept. 188 UN members have at least one observation in 2010-2025; 185 have a finite 2025 value. Burundi, Nauru, Rwanda, Singapore, and Yemen have no observation in any advertised year. Barbados, Eritrea, and Nicaragua are additional 2025 gaps.
