4°C Warming Means Your Future (Yes, Yours) is Very Unpleasant #cop#5

It's interactive climate change map day on TreeHugger! We just saw how badly hit the southeastern part of the US could get, and now it's time to check out what the world might look like under a 4°C (that's 7°F) average temperature rise scenario. This time it's the UK's Met Office Hadley Centre providing the Flash magic:

But before we get to the images, consider this: A global average of 4°C is just that, an average -- and one which includes ocean areas. Over land the average temperature rise will be in the range of 5.5°C, and in the higher latitudes up to 14°C increases will be felt.
