Week 3: Warming World

What places on Earth have experienced the largest warming from 1980-2004? Are the areas that are experiencing the most warming also showing the largest variability in temperature and or precipitation?

The overall trend of temperature across the globe is that the northern hemisphere will experience higher temperature values for the 2050-2074 climate scenario, with most northern countries (Iceland, UK, US, Canada, Russia, Mongolia, China) experiencing an average temp increase of more than 2 degrees C. This seems to be in contrast with countries in the southern hemisphere whose temperature increase for the 2050-2074 climate scenario only reaches a maximum of 1.6 dgr C (i.e. Brasil), or it will 'only' increase to 1.1 dgr C (i.e. New Zealand).
