Does anyone have a table of Earth mean temperatures?

In summary, the conversation revolved around finding a table of Earth mean temperatures going back as far as possible. Suggestions were made to try Google, Google Scholar, Wikipedia, and NASA for such information. Various datasets and sources were mentioned, including GISS, HadCrut5, RSS, and BEST. The conversation ended with the hope that the OP had found what they were looking for.

Yes. I haven't found it there. I hope this forum can provide it.

Sounds like it should be in climate change kind of literature.
I would try a google scholar search on things like that.
One would think it would be somewhere.
Maybe a text book.

Another word for 'mean' is 'average'. I had quite good luck googling 'Earth average temperature' and then clicking on the 'image' button.

NASA has an image very near the top that goes back 500 million years.

If you are asking about atmospheric temperatures as measured 2 meters above the ground,
GISS temperature is not a bad one, and goes back to 1880.
The "Global-mean monthly, seasonal, and annual means, 1880-present," can be exported as text of CSV.
Other data sets include HadCrut5, RSS, and BEST.

The OP was on the site for 17 minutes. Hopefully googled and took something.

1. What is the average mean temperature of the Earth?

The average mean temperature of the Earth is approximately 15 degrees Celsius or 59 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. How is the mean temperature of the Earth calculated?

The mean temperature of the Earth is calculated by taking the average of all recorded temperatures from various locations, including land and ocean, over a specific time period.

3. Is the mean temperature of the Earth increasing or decreasing?

Based on scientific data, the mean temperature of the Earth has been steadily increasing over the past century, with a more rapid increase in the last few decades.

4. How does the mean temperature of the Earth affect climate change?

The mean temperature of the Earth is one of the key indicators of climate change. As it increases, it can lead to changes in weather patterns, sea level rise, and other environmental impacts.

5. Are there any variations in the mean temperature of the Earth?

Yes, there are natural variations in the mean temperature of the Earth, such as seasonal changes and cyclical patterns. However, the overall trend is a steady increase in temperature due to human activities.
