Your Climate in 60 Years

This fall's supercharged hurricanes are a reminder that despite the dishonest rhetoric coming from top Republican politicians, global warming is definitely not a hoax. The University of Maryland has a new mapping tool to show you where on earth your climate will most resemble in 60 years. 

So if you're in Chicago 60 years from now it will feel like you're near Tulsa.

The tool gives you the location and climate details of the analogous place. Here is an example from the southern hemisphere heading northwards.

Play around with it a bit, be scared and maybe even consider how you can lower your own carbon footprint. Or just wait for scientists and governments to come up with a magic solution. Good luck!
