The map shows the temperature changes in the decade between January 2000 and December 2009 compared to the average temperatures in the years 1951-1980. Areas that warmed appear in red, areas that cooled between the periods - in blue. The strongest growth was in the Arctic regions and parts of Antarctica. Photo: NASA
