NASA has released detailed global climate change projections. If you would like to know what these projections are please drink from this data firehose.
I'm sure someone here is already making a visualization with the dataset.
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.
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.

The greatest changes in the new NOAA surface temperature analysis is to the ocean temperatures since 1998. This seems rather ironic, since this is the period where there is the greatest coverage of data with the highest quality of measurements – ARGO buoys and satellites don’t show a warming trend. Nevertheless, the NOAA team finds a substantial increase in the ocean surface temperature anomaly trend since 1998. ... The global surface temperature datasets are clearly a moving target. So while I’m sure this latest analysis from NOAA will be regarded as politically useful for the Obama administration, I don’t regard it as a particularly useful contribution to our scientific understanding of what is going on.

The link above also includes more on some of the specifics of the new adjustments NOAA made.
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.

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
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 meaningless.

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

This article is about creating the projections and that they are available. Is there an article describing what the projections have projected?
