"USA becomes desert"

Also USA: Looks like Canada needs some freedom.

When I'm depressed about the problems of my life I always watch this video to chear myself up and remember that future people are going to be way more screwed than me.

Something important to keep in mind is that all of those "uninhabitable hell holes" as he called them have a lot of permafrost which means that even once it thaws out the soil is going to be really really bad for growing anything also they will be almost completely treeless

No more ice, no winter.

Germany: Hmmm No winter..

Me who lives in New Zealand: “I support the fight to fight climate change. Because I don’t want to lose my backyard.”

Honestly this is too simplistic of an analysis. Your map only takes into account latitudes basically and doesn’t take into account future ocean currents, seasonal wind patterns or anything else like that. Nothing about elevation differences in the swath of lands you characterized as yellow or green!

“No more winter in Russia”

Germany: ᵢₜₛ fᵣₑₑ ᵣₑₐₗ ₑₛₜₐₜₑ

I like how whenever the world ends, New Zealand always makes it

Denmark doesnt own Greenland, we're in "The Unity of the realm" where they govern themselves on paper, but they almost completely rely on us for their economy, which gains Denmark a lot of influence.

I have a feeling that unless Denmark starts to invest heavily into ressource gathering in Greenland, that other countries will and our unity will slip. Unfortunately I think Denmark is way too small to hold such a vast area full of ressources in the long run

That’s interesting. I always assumed if temperatures rose it would be like the humid rainforest type climate of the dinosaurs. I guess all the melting ice goes straight into the sea and doesn’t evaporate into clouds.

Planet: *gets warmer*
Siberia: *Stonks*

[davrosdarlek]

I just realised my town has a higher population than Greenland

For those confused, earth will not become a giant dessert if the global temperature rises 4 degrees. However once this happens most permafrost will start to melt releasing tons of methane and co2 in the air. This will see a rise of global temperature up to ten degrees warmer then today, thus why everything will be a dessert.

"Hey Russia, can you help us stop climate change?"
"Yes, we will sell you as much oil as it takes"

[neemapaxima]

Greenland's name will finally make sense

My reaction to the talk about Alaska containing untapped resources like oil that we could use was "We should NOT do that" if our world gets here, we need to not be using fossil fuels or we will just repeat the process of warming. I don't believe that our planet warming will stop at leaving the poles habitable and I wouldn't want to live on a desert planet. The indigenous people in the America's spent an untold amount of time cultivating the land and keeping it basically a paradise. It would be heartbreaking to see this possibility come about because of our actions, we definitely need to reverse course quickly. Our leaders aren't moving fast enough, we need to stop repeating the past mistakes of colonization and resource exploitation. Kurzgesagt puts things pretty well.

I feel this is far from what would happen, like i read somewhere that with temp increases Africa would receive heavier monsoon season due to the evaporation and become it's greener self again, brazil would be mostly underwater due to the amazon basin flooding from the ice melts and the rising sea level, and I don't understand how the desert parts of Western Australia turn green while the more southern green part dries up, and u offer no explanation why either, this map just feels like someone painted the mountains brown made everything else yellow then just added green bits in randomly except for a couple of places he was sure would still be/become green, i understand the map was done by someone else, but couldn't you see the holes in this one?

[TheHilariousGoldenChariot]

The Middle East be like, huh something’s different?
