Large areas of the U.S. would see average temperatures from 10°F to 15°F warmer, according to recent projections of U.S. temperatures following a "high emissions scenario" pathway — which current business-as-usual is currently exceeding (on the right). More manageable temperate increases are projected under a moderate low emissions scenario (on the left). (Projections show change in average surface air temperature in the later part of this century (2071-2099) relative to the late part of the last century (1971-2000).) (Draft NAC p38-29)
