One of Hawkins' early warming stripes graphics shows global warming from 1850 (left side of graphic) to 2018 (right side of graphic).[13] Being a "minimalist graphic stripped (of) unnecessary clutter",[14] warming stripes portray observed global warming with blue stripes (cooler years) progressing to predominantly red stripes (warmer years).
Climate spiral shows global warming since 1850 as an ever-widening coloured spiral
On 22 May 2018, Hawkins published his warming stripes data visualization graphic,[25] which has been used by meteorologists in Climate Central's annual #MetsUnite campaign to raise public awareness of global warming during broadcasts on the summer solstice.[26] Hawkins' similar #ShowYourStripes initiative, in which the public could freely download and share graphics customized to specific countries or localities, was launched on 17 June 2019.[26] The warming stripes graphic is used in the logo of the U.S. House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis from 2019 onwards.[27]
Honours and awardsedit
Hawkins' climate spiral design was on the shortlist for the Kantar Information is Beautiful Awards 2016,[28] the design having been featured in the opening ceremony of the August 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[29]
In 2018, Hawkins was awarded the Kavli Medal by the Royal Society "for significant contributions to understanding and quantifying natural climate variability and long-term climate change, and for actively communicating climate science and its various implications with broad audiences".[20]
In July 2019, Hawkins was included in the Climate Home News list of ten climate influencers.[30]
In June 2021, Hawkins was named in The Sunday Times "Green Power List" which profiled twenty environmentalists in the UK who are "minds engaging with the world’s biggest problem".[31]
