- The Arctic Ocean is warming the most of any area in the world, by 6 degrees C or more in the 100 years to 2099.
- Land at the same high latitudes (e.g. Greenland and Antarctica) is not warming as much as the Arctic Ocean
- In other areas of the world, in general land areas are warming at a higher rate than their surrounding seas, e.g. Australia, Africa.
- The areas of the world which are projected to warm the least by 2099 are in oceans i) a wide continuous band in the southern oceans from about 30 to 60 degrees South, and ii) an area in the North Atlantic Ocean from about 40 degrees to 60 degrees North. [Students may describe these areas in relation to adjacent named landmasses, rather than latitudes.]
