  3. Looks like the Netherlands will mostly stay the same. Guess we have *nothing* to worry about!

  4. Neither the article nor this graphic image mentions the slowing down of the AMOC and its impacts on these temperatures.

  5. RCP 8.5 is a scenario with 8.5 degree of warming. It is at the extreme upper end and no longer realistic.

    Still quite terrifying.

  6. Baltic Sea gets northern Spain climate. It’s time to buy properties by Baltic coast

  10. Bulgaria is going to turn into an arid steppe. It’s so fucking over

  11. Guess we can just keep moving north. Maybe Siberia will be the next good place to live in 200 years lol

  12. The RCP 8.5 warming scenario won’t happen. Don’t worry about it.

  13. Pretty big change for Iceland. Also poor Spain, I hope they (or we as europe) find ways to fight back against desertification.

  15. 8.5 being removed from models now because china never went the full coal direction as part of their industrialisation. So at least theres that.

  16. RCP 8.5 is not going to happen even if humanity tried to make it happen. It was always an exaggerated scenario designed to scare people instead of informing them.

    Edit: RCP 8.5 and other unrealistic catastrophe scenarios have actually been counterproductive in fighting human impact on climate. It is a very serious issue that needs action. Yet unrealistic scenarios like RCP 8.5 or claims such as loss of North Pole ice cap by 2020 erode the credibility not only of realistic scenarios but also of the field of climate science as a whole. They’re easy to dismiss as unrealistic and when doing that things much more real can get thrown out with same bathwater.

  17. Even with climate change, Britian sticks with the tradition of semper eadem

  18. As a Ukrainian I’m very happy about this. Now we get 4 spring and 4 summer months due to Global Warming. Cold season is softer and shorter.

  19. Tldr;
    Central and Eastern Europeans 🎉🏝️
    Southern European 🥵💀
    UK/NL 😐

  20. OP, you seem to know that by now RCP 8.5 is unrealistic scenario now. Why post it?

  21. Looks like Lithuania will get south of France climate. Can’t complain.

  22. Not even the earth can beat Great Britain 💪🏽🇬🇧

  23. Central Europe: So where are the negatives?

    Brb i’m gonna buy some equipment for a retirement olive tree and wine farm in Poland.

  24. We long left the steppes, now the steppes will come to us. We came full circle.

  25. Crazy (and frankly scary) to think that Lapland will be like Budapest is now.

  28. This doesn’t take into account that the Gulf stream might collapse does it? Because if it does northern Europe is gonna get cold
