QUICK NEWS: The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) has created an awesome “Hot Map” of global warming effects around the world. You just click on the familiar google maps bubbles to see the effects happening in or projected for different places around the world.
Of course the effects are diverse. UCS lets you turn various effects on or off to tune in more carefully to specific issues. The various issues (which include health, food, water, costs, sea ice, and much more) are divided up according to 5 overarching topics:
- People
- Freshwater
- Oceans
- Ecosystems
- Temperature
You can also view the map in Google Earth.
