Global maps comparing the regional differences in warming that will occur global-average warming of 1.5 versus 2 degrees Celsius

At global average warming levels of 1.5 degrees Celsius (top map) above Earth's pre-industrial temperature, some land areas will experience twice that much annual warming. At global warming of 2 degrees Celsius (bottom map), those regional differences become more extreme. Climate.us maps, based on data from Figure 5 of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report's Summary for Policymakers.
