4 Degrees Map

I am excited to see maps like this beginning to come out.  It makes things a little bit more tactile.

However, this particular one gives me mixed feelings.  It is riddled with “could” and “might”; however, it does not effectively present evidence of likelihood.  As a result, I fear it comes off feeling light on substance.  I could credibly say that aliens could land on Earth by 2050, but that does not make a particularly compelling case for action.

Is there some way that we could start putting some more measurable bands around climate change risks, so that our reports won’t sound quite so much like scaremongering?
