One measure of average global temperature shows how each year varies from a base measure. The table shows results for several years.
| Year | 1958 | 1964 | 1965 | 1978 | 2002 |
| Difference from base | 0.10°C | – 0.17°C | – 0.10°C | `(1/50)^circ`C | 0.54°C |
See the table and answer the following:
- Order the five years from coldest to warmest.
