With NASA releasing the 2016 global temperature data, Dargan Frierson and Judy Twedt made quick work of the high temperatures. Using the global temperature data from 1880-2016, they created a song about the Earth’s global temperature. Lower notes mean lower temperature, and higher notes are higher temperature. They chose notes from a musical scale and added drums just for effect.

Dargan and Judy state that they “pause in 1977, a critical year for climate” because “scientists were confident at this point that heat-trapping gases from fossil fuels were the main way humans were influencing the climate”.
