Summary

Description
English: Preliminary results from a Smithsonian Institution project led by Scott Wing and Brian Huber, showing Earth's average surface temperature over the past 500 million years. For most of the time, global temperatures appear to have been too warm (red portions of line) for persistent polar ice caps. The most recent 50 million years are an exception. Image adapted from Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.

It is recommended to name the SVG file “Earth's average surface temperature over the past 500 million years.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
