Interactive Map Predicts Future Climate of Global Cities

University of Maryland scientists develop a tool to visualize how climate change will alter local conditions by 2080.

• Users can compare their city's future climate to current conditions in another location.
• The app uses data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for its predictions.
• Two scenarios are available: one with high emissions and one with reduced emissions.
• By 2080, many northern hemisphere cities will resemble those further south.
• The tool aims to raise awareness about the significant impacts of climate change.
