Abstract
The Northern Hemisphere Temperature Curve has become one of the leading issues of modern climatology because it is not only considered to represent large-scale changes in temperature but is also used by some as a convenient indicator of changes in important derivatives of temperature. The development of the curve is reviewed and its representativeness of hemispheric climatic changes is discussed. Recently summarized marine temperature records and the tropospheric temperature record appear to confirm the general features of the curve. On the other hand, the curve's use as an indicator of local temperature changes and such derivatives as the length of the growing season and climatic variability is shown to be fallacious. This emphasizes the fact that local temperature trends are not necessarily similar to the hemispheric trend.
