We Are All Texans Tomorrow: 1,001 Blistering Future Summers - Bloomberg

We Are All Texans Tomorrow: 1,001 Blistering Future Summers - Bloomberg: "If you live in Phoenix, Arizona, and find the summers there just aren’t hot enough for you, you’re in luck. Just stick around long enough, and it’ll feel just like Kuwait City, where the average summer day registers a lizard-pleasing 114 degrees Fahrenheit (45.6 Celsius).

This new interactive map by nonprofit research group Climate Central draws lines, literally, between the cities of today and the cities they’ll feel like by the end of this century if greenhouse-gas pollution continues on its current path.

For example, the average summer day in Manhattan reaches 82 degrees, but by 2100 it will feel like Lehigh Acres, Florida, at 92 degrees. Summers in Saint Paul seem too chilly? Hang tight, and before long it will feel just like Mesquite, Texas.

Climate Central analyzed 1,001 U.S. cities. Click on the image below and fill in the sentence “I live in ”, and see how you (or your grandchildren) might fare by the end of the century. Most of the lines will take you to southern U.S. cities, but some locales must be transported to Middle East to find equivalent temperatures."
