The Nature Conservancy, the University of Washington, and the University of Southern Mississippi have collaborated to create an online interactive “Climate Wizard”. You can review the last 50 years of data, or look at predictions out to 2050 and 2080 using one of about 30 different circulation models and emission scenarios.
With ClimateWizard you can:
- view historic temperature and rainfall maps for anywhere in the world
- view state-of-the-art future predictions of temperature and rainfall around the world
- view and download climate change maps in a few easy steps
ClimateWizard enables technical and non-technical audiences alike to access leading climate change information and visualize the impacts anywhere on Earth. The first generation of this web-based program allows the user to choose a state or country and both assess how climate has changed over time and to project what future changes are predicted to occur in a given area. ClimateWizard represents the first time ever the full range of climate history and impacts for a landscape have been brought together in a user-friendly format.
The results are impressive, although every model I tried showed us all digging out the shorts by 2080.
While the map suggests more areas of warming, on quick perusal it is of interest that, save for the Montana/Dakota region, there appears to be no “hotspot” that is more than about 200 miles (eyeball estimate) from a cooling spot (or vice versa). Any thoughts on this?
using 50 past years to predict the future is like predicting the price of a stock 3 years from now based on based on what happened between 10:51 and 10:52 this morning.
Cool !!! phony models based on phony data using phoney statistical techniques. Created by someone with government money.
Perhaps Guru Hand should take a few courses in Econometrics and he would realize that the Mann, Jones etc. stuff is statistical crap.
