Northern latitudes are warming faster than more temperate regions, and Alaska has already warmed much faster
than the rest of the country. Maps show changes in temperature, relative to 1971-1999, projected for Alaska in the early,
middle, and late parts of this century, if heat-trapping gas (also known as greenhouse gas) emissions
continue to increase (higher emissions, A2), or are substantially reduced (lower emissions, B1). (Figure source: adapted from
