Projected geographic distribution of future climate analogs (RCP8.5). Future climate analogs for 2020, 2050, 2100, and 2200 CE according to the ensemble median. Geohistorical periods are rank ordered according to global mean annual temperature as follows: preindustrial, historical, Mid-Holocene, LIG, Pliocene, and Eocene, with no analog placed at the end due to the prevalence of no-analog climates in the warmest and wettest portion of climate space (Fig. 4). Hence, a projected future location matched to Pliocene, Eocene, and no analog in the three ESMs would be identified as Eocene in the ensemble median.
