Extended Data Fig 7 Maps of the standardised temperature anomaly for the years 2018 and 2070 under RCP 8.5.
The standardised temperature anomaly was determined for each 0.5 × 0.5° grid cell of the global terrestrial land area. Based on data on monthly mean temperatures for 2016-2018, and projected temperatures for 2069-2071 under RCP 8.5 as a worst-case scenario should current ambitions to reduce emissions be unsuccessful . Negative values indicate a decrease in temperature compared to the historical baseline, while positive values indicate an increase in temperature.
