Matthew Fitzpatrick from the University of Maryland analyzed climate data from 40,581 settlements worldwide and created an interactive map called “Future Urban Climate.” By clicking on your city, the map will show you what its climate will be like in 2080 by finding the closest current climate analog.
“I hope this map will encourage discussions about climate change. It might help people better understand the scale of the consequences and why scientists are so concerned,” said Fitzpatrick.
Matthew Fitzpatrick is not a science fiction writer but a spatial ecology expert, and climate change is his field of study. He used data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Have you found your city on the map? Ready to travel to 2080?
❗️ Warning! The map is highly addictive. 😎
