These new climate maps are amazing! Northward shift of the habitable zone, patterns of extreme heat & humidity, areas w/ wildfires, sea level rise, & more. By 2060-70, North America will be a remarkably different place. No pay wall. There's a popup, but just click on "No, thanks."

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings?
