This map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
{{vector version available|new image name}}.It is recommended to name the SVG file “Aridity ice age vs early holocene vs modern.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
 | This map image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans.

| Description |
English: During the Last Glacial Maximum 14000 years ago, thermal-driven evaporation from the oceans onto continental landmasses was low, causing large areas of extreme desert, including polar deserts (cold but with low rates of precipitation). Greater precipitation today creates a much different distribution of climatic zones, although anthropogenic changes including agriculture prevent forest cover from reaching its theoretical potential. Near the start of the Atlantic Period, 8000 years ago, the world's climate was warmer and wetter than today according to an ORNL estimate. |
