Google Earth launches climate simulator
The Google blog has an article about the introduction of a new feature in Google Earth that allows you to track climate change. Albert Gore, Vice President of the United States in the administration of Bill Clinton and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007, took part in the promotional video of this innovation.
In December of this year, representatives from all over the world will gather in Copenhagen to discuss a global agreement on climate change. The goal is to reduce global emissions that affect climate change, in order to avoid the most serious consequences and support the global community to adapt to inevitable changes. It is in Denmark this year that the fifteenth conference will be held within the framework of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change, known as COP15 .
In collaboration with the Danish and other governments, we are starting to develop a climate simulator that will allow you to explore the potential effects of climate change on our planet and solutions for managing them. Working with data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ), we will show in Google Earth the range of expected temperature and precipitation, changes under different scenarios of harmful emissions into the environment that may occur over the course of a century.

Together with the Danish government, we also created the YouTube channel COP15 . In this channel, you can convey your thoughts and questions on climate change to people who are dealing with environmental issues through an initiative called “Raise Your Voice”. These videos will be broadcast on screens throughout the conference in December, and will be appreciated by viewers of the channel. The videos with the highest ratings will be broadcast during the COP15 CNN / YouTube debates on December 15, and the top two will win a trip to Copenhagen. We look forward to your videos!
Apparently, Google wants to attract as many ordinary people on the Internet as possible to solve problems and issues related to pollution and climate change.
