Mural showing effects of climate change unveiled in Jersey

A mural highlighting the effects of climate change has been unveiled in Jersey.

The Climate Stripes for Jersey is a visual representation of how the island's annual average air temperature has changed since records began at the Maison St Louis Observatory.

Each of the 126 stripes represents one year from 1894 through to 2019, and is coloured and shaded depending on how much cooler or warmer the annual average air temperature was compared to the 30-year average air temperature between 1971 and 2000.

The mural is based on an idea developed by Professor Ed Hawkins MBE - a scientist known for his data visualization graphics portraying global warming - and has been created by artist Ian Rolls, on a wall by the underpass in St Helier.
