#ShowYourStripes day is coming up — on June 21st, the summer (or winter) solstice in the Northern Hemisphere — a day to spread awareness about climate change using the iconic warming stripes graphics that show temperature trends over the last 100+ years.

Each colored stripe represents the average temperature of a given year, relative to a long-term baseline. Blue means cooler, red means hotter. The result? A striking visual that makes the pace of global warming impossible to ignore.

No charts, no numbers. Just color—and the undeniable trend we’re living through.

I’ll be joining in again this year, and I invite you to do the same. Let’s keep making climate change visible.
