Indeed. The image at the top of the page (presumably the worst case scenario) has no legend. I'm guessing that the red is desert, but what counts as temperate? The South America blue or the South Africa yellow? Or are the colors a delta from the current temperatures?

It's amazing how easy it is to turn a 12TB deluge of pristine scientific data into something completely meaningless.

My guess is that it shows the average temperature rather than actual climate. So red would be high temperature, and blue cold. I don't think that it refers to precipitation or anything like that. Or it could be a stock photo...

You'd think some spots on the globe would get colder or rainer, no? Also this map makes it appear Antarctica will get colder? Or maybe that map is a stock image?
