This map, which is rather sobering for what it claims, also has a pretty scary physical appearance: it looks like a fire spreading up and torching the southern United States. I took it from Climate Progress, which took it from a posted draft version of the forthcoming "Unified Synthesis Project: Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States" to be put out by NOAA. This draft says, "Internal Review Draft: Do Not Cite or Quote," so I'm giving that as a big blaring caveat, but the final draft will be released tomorrow at 1:30 PM EST.

Some telling graphs here. Yikes.
It appears that the "lower emissions" scenario and the "higher emissions" scenario are identical. So, what would be the point of having more restrictive policies? It will make no difference.
If ever a film was meant to appeal to Israelis (and Americans) of the Avigdor Lieberman persuasion, this is that film.
