    [ad_1] AMERICA LOOKING AHEAD 70 YEARS: INSIGHT DEPLOYING THE KOPPEN-GEIGER CLIMATE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. Remarkable, highly granular climate predictions (https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CVPtyN0AE4U/WBsq0gdV-mI/AAAAAAAA9Rc/2ewXsVcfq6IOSRhtuDnkW-Rzy0EykWl1ACLcB/s1600/US_CS_A1B_vividmaps.gif) for every location in North America for the Years 2030, 2050, 2070, 2080, 2090 and 2100. Here's a primer taken from this VERY complete Wikipedia explanation (including numerous geographical examples) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification) of the Koppen Climate Classification for the entire world: "The Köppen climate classification divides climates into five main climate groups, with each group being divided based on seasonal precipitation and temperature patterns. The five main groups are A (tropical), B (dry), C (temperate), D (continental), and E (polar). Each group and subgroup is represented by a letter. All climates are assigned a main group (the first letter). All climates except for those in the E group are assigned a seasonal precipitation subgroup (the second letter). For example, Af indicates a tropical rainforest climate. The system assigns a temperature subgroup for all groups other than those in the A group, indicated by the third letter for climates in B, C, and D, and the second letter for climates in E. For example, Cfb indicates an oceanic climate with warm summers as indicated by the ending b. Climates are classified based on specific criteria unique to each climate type." Finally, here's a climate map representing North American data from 1980-2016.
