For each grid cell:

This location at lat XX, lon XX will become XX degrees warmer on average by the year 2050, and have XX more/less rain every year. Grassland productivity is expected to increace/decrease by XX%

Maybe color code the numbers. red/green. But then might have to adjust the plot colors

timeseries hover tex for erach point

annual productivity will be X percent above/below the 1990-2010 average in the 2050's in this scenario

for different RCP tabs

[RCP 2.6](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_Concentration_Pathway#RCP_2.6) is the best case scenario in climate mitigation. Here global emissions start declining by 2020 and go to zero by 2100.

[RCP 4.5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_Concentration_Pathway#RCP_4.5)represents an intermediate scenario, where global emissions peak around 2040 and then begin to decline.

[RCP 6](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_Concentration_Pathway#RCP_6) is similar to RCP 4.5, but the peak emissions happen around 2080.

[RCP 8.5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_Concentration_Pathway#RCP_8.5) is the worst case scenario, where global emissions never decline. Currently this scenario is seen as [unlikely](https://www.doi.org/10.1038/d41586-020-00177-3).
