Climate Temperature Trends — Free Line Chart Template
This Climate Temperature Trends template charts average global temperature anomalies across seven decades, climbing from -0.1 in 1960 to +1.1 by 2020. The single-line view makes the warming trajectory instantly readable, with each point marking a decade's deviation from baseline. It is a ready-made starting point for anyone presenting long-run climate data, so you can swap in your own figures instead of building a line chart from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the sample temperature data with my own readings?
Yes. Click Open in editor and edit the data table directly: change the decade labels (1960, 1970, ...), update each anomaly value, or add more rows for finer year-by-year data. The line redraws as you type, and you can add extra series to compare regions or scenarios.
Is this template free, and how do I export the finished chart?
It is completely free with no signup. Everything runs in your browser, and you can export the customized chart as a PNG, SVG, or PDF for slides, reports, or print.
