The entire dataset is 12TB because it contains _daily_ global 25x25km maps for all years between 1950-2099 probably for a bunch of different variables.
You don't need to download the entire thing to get the gist of it, although it probably would have helped if they also delivered a digest version with for example yearly or 5-yearly averages.
Edit: There is also a THREDDS data catalog present which allows you to extract slices or subsets of the entire data. Other than that it's missing a nice visualization tool I'd say its a pretty reasonable way of making such a huge amount of data available.
- fixermark 11y agoIf you could boil it down for the busier among us: on a scale of "screwed" to "really screwed", how screwed does it say we are? ;)
- Havoc 11y agoNot based on this dataset, but I gather most models already require an assumption of powerful carbon capture tech on a big scale to result in an outcome other than disaster. i.e. reduction alone is no longer sufficient in itself to prevent serious consequences.
- briandear 11y agoReally? You actually believe the hysteria?
- fixermark 11y agoDefine 'hysteria.' I believe humanity will survive, but at a significant cost to lifestyle (at least from the point of view of this American). I'll miss the places that are beaches right now being beaches, and I'm not looking forward to the economic disruption as food sources change. We're an advanced enough society that in a nightmare scenario, we could pretty much weather several generations in a cave under a tightly-controlled resource regiment. But not seven billion of us, and I don't look forward to the culling that would happen as a result of massive climate upheaval.
