Description Stan Tontas 2014-02-11 23:23:46 UTC 
The Climate Research Unit at UEA have released this temperature dataset as a KML file. Lots of "use Google Earth to do..." press coverage but I think the data could equally be used in Marble, no?

There was a request along these lines a few years ago "climate change predictions on a map":

The KML files unfortunately only work partially (the popups don't get displayed :-(
