21st century precipitation change models based on four different global warming scenarios. The models show changes in precipitation compared to the average precipitation from 1971 to 2000. The four models are based on Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPS), which are greenhouse gas concentration trajectories. Across top and then bottom the RCPs are: 2.6, 4.5, 6, and 8.5. Each number represents the expected Watts per meter squared of heat energy trapped by the climate system. Urban distribution data is also shown, giving an idea of the impact of the changes on human populations. | |
