Posted Mon Sep 28 2009: from The Sydney Morning Herald:
Google Earth climate change 3D map unveiled http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1254161377
Google is using its Google Earth mapping tool to simulate on a 3D map of the world the predicted effects of climate change until the year 2100. Using data provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the search giant created new layers for Google Earth showing the range of expected temperature and precipitation changes under different global emissions scenarios that could occur throughout the century. The new tools were introduced in partnership with the Danish Government ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Convention in December....The company is hoping that allowing people to visualise the impacts of climate change on a 3D map of the world will compel more people to speak up about the issue.

Your Quips:
dumbgrid says: "2100 ... how quaint... apparently, Al Gore is NOT reading you Docs, or he would know it's now 4C rise as early as 2060"
DocJim says: "Thank you, dumbgrid, for being so smart! Yes, Al is still working off the IPCC numbers... See next story for some new numbers."
Herman says: "Oh, Google -- I Love You! Yeah, you can quibble about what #s -- but Google can do things no one else can. They'll adjust!"
