Tracking down the original source (http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0107522), this appears to be a wildly hyperbolic misinterpretation. Surprise!  That map appears to be literally just the second one here, with a shittier projection, lower fidelity, and "moderate decrease in agricultural suitability" relabelled "unfarmable". Oh, and since it took me a while to figure out: this is working off the IPCC's SRES A1B scenario for climate change (which predicts, among other things, a 2.8 degree temperature anomaly in 2100); it seems to be something of a realistic best-case scenario. It's interesting to contrast this with the Ramankutty study (http://www.jstor.org/stable/3182647) from 2002:   Particularly the pretty severe negative effect in north-east China that doesn't show up in the newer one at all.

Yeah well [your side] map is ridiculous (and racist as gently caress), [my side] map is historically accurate and makes a relevant point.

Awfully generous with that "lake" in the Sistan basin. If they're counting salt flats there's a bunch they're missing.

How did that get published, looks like some guy drew the borders in freeform. I'm surprised they didn't give Crimea to Bolivia.

You are either blind or need to recalibrate your display colors. That said, the dashed lines for the former SSRs is very suspect...

I use to talk with a dude from Kaliningrad, he had cheap Internet because was able to maintain a service under the same rules when the communist ruled, or something like that. And also had a friend in Lithuania, he was a total gansta boy. His nickname was Bong. He said that his country was mostly sand dunes and boringness or something like that, I trust him on his words. I am spanish, so making two friends from people from that part of the world was totally random. I took for nickname something like Khuxtom, and it seems that there was some cookies with a similar name in the area. Tei fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Apr 14, 2016 |

Before the Internet, I never talked from anybody from the America continent, but after I got access, I made friends with a few argentinian and colombian girls, and some dudes. Theres people that I know they exist, but I rarelly see on the internet. Like... Chinese and Indians*. I think countries where people less people go online, or they like to be part of insular communities, or their whole Internet is insular. Few sites cross these borders.. maybe something like Youtube, you sometimes see weird scripts in Youtube, like urdu, islamic... anything that UTF8 supports. People in the west coast of USA play videogames with people from asia, and people from australia can interact with people from asia, but everywhere else is rare. Too many hops, not enough TTL to talk with japanese/korean/chinese people. *Indians I have seen a lot in github and Facebook. They are a lot of them into computer science.
