This Climate Wizard interactive was originally developed by the Nature Conservancy, in collaboration with several research institutions. You can use the Climate Wizard to explore how average temperature and average precipitiation is going to change over the next century, depending on how much greenhouse gas pollution people generate.

The most startling aspect of the Climate Wizard? The climate models show that no matter how much we reduce emissions of heat-trapping gases, average temperatures will increase across the entire country by 2050.

It’s important to note, though, that the models shown in the wizard don’t include smaller scale regional climate variability that might cause some regions to warm less, or even cool, compared to others.
