The weather across the globe will get more chaotic. All across the globe we will start seeing weird weather, including both unusually cold seasons and unusually hot and wetter and drier years. This might seem counter intuitive but if you imagine a pot very slowly heating up, you'd get different regions of cold and hot until the pot reaches equalibrium.
- hackerlight 4y agoWill there be a particular region where the higher average warming is concentrated? Or will all regions tend to be, on average, warmer (ignoring the higher variation)?
- orwin 4y agoLandmass especially. The increase in average temperature will concentrate over landmasses. Depending on how fast the artic ice cap melt, we could see the average temperature over a year in western europe drop, while increasing over the summer months. But climate is weird, that's why the less we perturb it, the better we get.
- hackerlight 4y agoWhat about small landmasses, like Japan or Indonesia?
- orwin 4y agoI'm not an expert, i merely did a lot of research during Covid (nothing better to do tbh), and since i've never asked myself the question, i never researched islands specifically. I think you might be able to find NASA maps and compare the average temperature in 1991 and today, you'll have your response. Sorry if i can't be more helpful.
