Short post. Here are the satellite-determined temperature trends of the various area of the lower troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere.

Figure 1. Temperature trends, UAH MSU lower troposphere. NoPol—North Polar Region; NoExt—Northern ExtraTropics; NHem—Northern Hemisphere; Trpcs—Tropics; SHem—Southern Hemisphere; SoExt—Southern Extratropics; SoPol—South Polar Region.

And here’s how it maps out around the globe:

Figures 2. Pacific and Greenwich centered views of the trends of the lower tropospheric temperatures.
