| From thousands of pages of reports, I dug out this key sentence: "very hot days are projected to be about 10 F degrees hotter than today." So, I looked up the very hot days (record highs) for a few cities & added 10 F.
To complete the picture, I finished by googling "hottest places on Earth." Several of the top 10 were around 130 F -- like Death Valley. Roll on as we are and we've got Vegas & Phoenix entering Death Valley territory, with Sacramento & Dallas not too far behind. Is there a place you wonder about? US Geologic Survey has a clickable map that will show future average temperatures for 2 scenarios: 1) we seriously cut carbon, and 2) we keep on going as we have been. |  10 of the hottest places on Earth |
