    what's going to be great is when everyone starts to realize +4C of climate change is fundamentally incompatible with human existence at these population levels.

        Fuck holy shit. I mean, so it's geoengineering or the end of humanity right? At what point do we start building the giant satellite transported umbrella to shade the earth or whatever?

          As soon as possible. Slowing the feedback loops, even to a slower rate, will mean the ecosystems will adjust better.

          We actually can have a situation less catastrophic than this, with 2-3 degrees warming, but it basically means zero carbon by 2030 and spending the next 200 years scrubbing the atmosphere of CO2 as hard as possible.

        That map is wrong, a lot of the areas around the equator will get more rain not less. Canada fanboy map.

        Thank you for sharing though it's helped me realize that 4°C will be apocalyptic.

          Much of the equatorial area is uninhabitable due to Wet bulb temperatures, and for the most part I think the map shows that a brown. It does show increased rainfall around the Sahel for example.

          I do agree a more precise version would be good.
