Animated Map Brings Global Climate Crisis To Life
A new animated map of the earth from space illustrates the potential impact of climate change over the next century and can be viewed on your computer. The project, Climate Change in Our World, is the result of cooperation between web search engine Google, Britain's environment ministry and the country's Met Office. Based on Google Earth which uses NASA satellite images, viewers can run a time lapse series to watch the earth warm under medium case scenarios up to 2100 either from a planetary perspective or zeroing in on countries and even cities.
