This article is about creating the projections and that they are available. Is there an article describing what the projections have projected?
I don't think anybody managed to download the whole set so far .
Earlier quoted context omitted.
At 12 TB I think just getting the files would take days of downloading. I have 25 mbs which equals to 1041:40:00 (hh:mm:ss) That is 25 mbs perfect connection with no errors or drops. 1041 hours equals 43+ days. http://www.numion.com/calculators/time.html
Would it go significantly quicker if you downloaded it to a VPS instead of your home?
It would literally take me 546 Days 19 Hours 30 Minutes 40.26 Seconds to download this dataset. I'm sure it reads like horror though.
You don't need to download the entire thing to get the gist of it, although it probably would have helped if they also delivered a digest version with for example yearly or 5-yearly averages.
Edit: There is also a THREDDS data catalog present which allows you to extract slices or subsets of the entire data. Other than that it's missing a nice visualization tool I'd say its a pretty reasonable way of making such a huge amount of data available.

I sure hope so because I am very very curious. Surely there are a lot of researchers that will love to jump into this data and manipulate it somehow. It's a good time to be studying climate change now... your dissertation is right here :D
> I sure hope so because I am very very curious. Indeed. The image at the top of the page (presumably the worst case scenario) has no legend. I'm guessing that the red is desert, but what counts as temperate? The South America blue or the South Africa yellow? Or are the colors a delta from the current temperatures? It's amazing how easy it is to turn a 12TB deluge of pristine scientific data into something completely…
Let's see if these fare any better than the projections used by the IPCC ... http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=5297 "The most recent climate model simulations used in the AR5 indicate that the warming stagnation since 1998 is no longer consistent with model projections even at the 2% confidence level." Kudos to them for publishing these, though. If they are rotten, it ought to be easy to tell.

"In the U.S., blacks are 12% of the population but commit 50% of violent crimes; can anyone honestly think this is unconnected to the fact that they average 15 points of IQ lower than the general population? That stupid people are more violent is a fact independent of skin color. " -Eric S Raymond, http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=129
Raymond also blames Alan Turing for his judicial punishment and suicide, even though Raymond, like every other computer programmer, owes Turing his career. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Eric_S._Raymond http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=1046#comment-236592

ESR is a climate scientist too?! Is there anything he isn't an expert on? swoon
During the Climategate fiasco, Raymond's ability to read other peoples' source code (or at least his honesty about it) was called into question when he was caught quote-mining analysis software written by the CRU researchers, presenting a commented-out section of source code used for analyzing counterfactuals as evidence of deliberate data manipulation. When confronted with the fact that scientists as a general rule are scrupulously honest, Raymond claimed it was a case of an "error cascade," a concept that makes sense in computer science and other places where all data goes through a single potential failure point, but in areas where outside data and multiple lines of evidence are used for verification, doesn't entirely make sense. (He was curiously silent when all the researchers involved were exonerated of scientific misconduct.)
"My favorite part of the "many eyes" argument is how few bugs were found by the two eyes of Eric (the originator of the statement). All the many eyes are apparently attached to a lot of hands that type lots of words about many eyes, and never actually audit code." -Theo De Raadt http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=129261032213320

I'm sure someone here is already making a visualization with the dataset.

I'm also supposedly completely unlimited on my package, I think that might push the limit though.
What I don't have is anything like 12TB of storage, all systems at home combined is maybe 2TB.
NASA has released detailed global climate change projections. If you would like to know what these projections are please drink from this data firehose.
