An excellent source of up-to-date visualizations illustrating climate change can be found at zacklabe.com
A discussion of climate model predictions vs observations can be found here.
Predictions of Climate Models vs Observations:
Global Temperature Trend – Land-Sea Temperature anomaly:
Note the similar trends for CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere and the temperature anomaly trend (departure from long-term temperature averages), and lack of correlation between those temperature trends and sunspot activity.
