Climate Change: Mapped 3/31/19

Climate Change is a subject that will affect the world, yet most people don’t know where or how it is affecting us today.

Thanks to the website CarbonBrief, who created a world map based on more than 230 peer-reviewed studies, we can now see what the current effects of climate change are and where they are causing the most damage.

Beyond that, CarbonBrief made sure to outline which results were and were not influenced by humans, giving a fair and unbiased outline of these issues.

Carbon Brief’s analysis suggests 68% of all extreme weather events studied to date were made more likely or more severe by human-caused climate change. Heatwaves account for 43% such events, droughts make up 17% and heavy rainfall or floods account for 16%.
