According to virtually electrical flow models of climate modify life inward the yr 2100 is going to resemble the virtually dystopian visions of the futurity cooked upwards yesteryear writers of scientific discipline fiction. We tin facial expression frontward to a the world which suffers from extreme heat, rising seas as well as practically unbreathable air.
For example, MIT lately modeled how climate modify could acquit on on the futurity of air lineament inward the USA. The futurity air pollution model developed yesteryear these scientists estimated the probable increment inward fine particulate affair (PM2.5, μg m-3) based on electrical flow climate modify forecasts. The results are really worrying.
The Revelator has created an interactive map from MIT's air lineament estimates for the yr 2100. The Revelator's Air Pollution inward 2100 interactive map shows where air pollution is expected to increment equally a outcome of global warming. The nighttime areas on the map demo the regions which are predicted to run into the biggest increment inward the annual average fine particulate matter. If y'all hover over a USA county on the map y'all tin run into the predicted increment inward PM2.5 as well as the predicted full PM2.5 for the selected location.
The Climate Impact Lab's Climate Impact Map visualizes how global warming volition upshot temperatures only about the the world over the residual of this century.
Using the drop-down carte y'all tin direct to persuasion predicted global temperatures for each quarter of the yr or for the whole year. You tin also direct to persuasion the let on of days which volition live on below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or to a higher house 35 degrees Fahrenheit. The timeline below the map allows y'all to persuasion a choropleth persuasion of whatever of these selected temperature predictions for the years 2020-2039, 2040-2059 as well as 2080-2100.
The map includes ii choropleth views. The 'absolute level' shows the predicted temperatures only about the the world for the yr selected. The 'change from historical' persuasion shows how much the temperature volition increment to a higher house the 1986-2005 averages only about the globe.
The University of Hawaii has released a similar interactive map which uses expected temperature increases to predict the let on of deadly days nosotros tin await from extreme oestrus only about the the world for each yr upwards to 2100. Heatwaves: Number of deadly oestrus days provides a timeline command which allows y'all to select whatever yr from 1950-2100. The bluish dots on the map demo historic extreme oestrus events that accept occurred only about the the world earlier 2014.
If y'all click on the map y'all tin persuasion ii charts for the selected location. One nautical chart visualizes the let on of annual deadly days over fourth dimension as well as the other shows the humidity vs. temperature for the electrical flow year.
Thanks to NOAA's Sea Level Rise Viewer nosotros tin also discover how these increases inward temperature volition upshot ocean levels.
By the goal of this century the National Climate Assessment estimates that ocean levels may ascension yesteryear upwards to 6.6 feet. NOAA's interactive map uses the virtually accurate elevation information available to model how unlike extents of ocean flat ascension volition acquit on coastal areas inward the USA. You tin accommodate the ocean flat displayed on the map yesteryear adjusting the H2O flat tool from 0 to half dozen feet.
You tin also role the 'Local Scenarios' tab to persuasion the potential acquit on of unlike ocean flat ascension scenarios on unlike areas of the country. The Local Scenarios selection allows y'all to accommodate the map to persuasion the acquit on of ocean flat ascension of unlike orders of severity. It also allows y'all to run into how this impacts the local expanse yesteryear decade (up to the yr 2100).
