The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) or Medieval Climate Optimum was a time of unusually warm climate in Europe, lasting from about the 10th century to about the 14th century. It was initially believed that the temperature changes were global. However, this view has been questioned; the 2001 IPCC report summarises this research, saying: "…current evidence does not support globally synchronous periods of anomalous … warmth over this timeframe, and the conventional term of 'Medieval Warm Period' appears to have limited utility in describing trends in hemispheric or global mean temperature changes in past centuries". During this time wine grapes were grown in Europe as far north as southern Britain and the Vikings took advantage of ice-free seas to colonize Greenland and other outlying lands of the far north.

Sir Gilbert Thomas Walker (14 June 1868 - 4 November 1958) was a British physicist and statistician of the 20th Century. He is best known for his groundbreaking description of the Southern Oscillation in 1923, a major phenomenon of global climate, and for greatly advancing the study of climate in general.

The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane have increased by 31% and 149% respectively above pre-industrial levels since 1750. This is considerably higher than at any time during the last 650,000 years, the period for which reliable data has been extracted from ice cores.

El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a global coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon. The Pacific ocean signatures, El Niño and La Niña (also written in English as El Nino and La Nina) are major temperature fluctuations in surface waters of the tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean. The names, from the Spanish for "the little boy" and "the little girl", refer to the Christ child, because the phenomenon is usually noticed around Christmas time in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of South America. Their effect on climate in the southern hemisphere is profound.

Professor Farnsworth (Futurama). Crimes of the Hot is the eighth episode of the fourth production season of Futurama. As New New York suffers from a heatwave, a special meeting of all the scientists on Earth is called to stop the problem. Professor Farnsworth reveals that the exhausts on the robots he designed have caused global warming. At first the only solution seems to be to destroy all robots. However, Farnsworth eventually comes to realise that the solution is for all the robots to emit exhaust fumes into the air at the same time, in order to push earth farther from the sun. For his work, Farnsworth receives a pollution medal and all the robots party, expelling more pollution in the process.

The longest continuous instrumental measurement of atmospheric carbon dioxide began in 1958 at Mauna Loa, Hawai, USA and shows the steadily increasing trend associated with the greenhouse effect and global warming.
