The U.K. government launched a Google Earth layer that models what Earth might look like in the event of a significant worldwide rise in temperature.
Specifically, the interactive map visually demonstrates what could happen if carbon emissions are not curbed, and as a result, Earth’s temperature rises four degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial worldwide climate average. As a plethora of scientists and politicians have repeatedly stated, an increase in things like drought and agricultural disruption as a result of drought, could lead to instability and violence in some parts of the world.
The free downloadable Four Degrees Celsius layer was developed and released by the U.K.’s Foreign Office (FCO) and Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) in response to the public attacks that have been made against scientific research regarding global warming, according to the U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Really interesting finding your blog – not least because we’re now almost 12 months on from when this article was posted. Your predictions, and insight on climate change has been an eye-opener. I’m based in the United Kingdom and we are experiencing a serious lack of rainfall at present. I’m also a livestock farmer, and this is one of the worst periods of drought that I’ve ever known. And what’s even more concerning is that the weather predictions suggest it will continue. Nightmare!!!
If you have a moment, and want to learn about how our farm is coping – or not – then maybe drop by my blog at some point. Details as follows: http://intomeat.wordpress.com/
Once again, thanks for posting this info – really useful. Cheers.
