However, there are a number of interesting specifics. Among them this map showing the predicted global changes in agricultural productivity. Canada, Northern Europe and Russia are the big winners, with the southern hemisphere suffering substantially.
Another graph compares the emissions savings from more fuel efficient cars in the US with the additional emissions needed to provide 1.6 billion people in developing countries with electricity. Quite a thought provoking comparison.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like Atlantic Canada and Quebec will become the new breadbasket of North America. There's no data for Yukon, NWT or Nunavut, but I understand that the soil quality in the Boreal forest is not good for farming. If we lost the Boreal forest, we couldn't just convert the land to agriculture, except I suppose with massive chemical inputs. Interesting also that AB and Sask don't fare as well. They seem to be more impacted by drought.
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice at first but Ontario does very poorly. It actually loses a significant amount of productivity. I wonder why that's so? And, not to be flippant about it, but the Global South is toast. That's a fact.
