A chart that shows projected changes in annual maximum temperature (top row) and annual minimum temperature (bottom) at three levels of global warming in the world, compared to the 1851-1900 baseline, based on computer simulations.

The bulging, spherical cells in the upper-right and bottom-left corners are distorted and about to burst from the viral particles inside, and are beginning to self-destruct.
