"Temperature is a key indicator of how the climate is changing in response to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities, as increasing GHG concentrations result in warming of the lower atmosphere. Temperature change can influence crops, forests, infrastructure, human health, the spread of disease, the availability of water and the health of ecosystems. Using the average temperature values from 1961 to 1990 as a baseline, these indicators compare how much the temperature for a given year departs from the 1961 to 1990 "normal". The indicators show the yearly and seasonal surface air temperature departures for the years 1948 to 2022"--Page 5.
