Climate Change Data Added To Google Earth

Climate change. A worldwide and interesting topic for discussion, but one of the challenges associated with it is presenting research data in a way the the general public will understand. Google have teamed up with the British government to add new layers to Google Earth that highlight how climate change could potentially affect the planet. One layer, developed with the Met Office Hadley Centre illustrates temperature modelling data for the next hundred years, while the British Antarctic Survey have produced a layer which shows how they measure climate change in that region of the world. More detail, and a video of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown talking about the initiative (well, more about the global economy) can be found on Google's LatLong blog.

New vision of climate change through Google Earth

Millions of Google Earth users around the world would now be able to ''see'' how climate change will affect the planet and its people over the next century and also view the loss of Antarctic ice shelves over the last 50 years, thanks to a new project launched today. The project, 'Climate Change in Our World,' is the product of a collaboration between Google, the UK Government, the Met Office Hadley Centre and the British Antarctic Survey to provide two new 'layers', or animations, available to all users of Google Earth, according to a release from the British High Commission here today.

Birds Migrate Earlier, But Some May Be Left Behind As The Climate Warms Rapidly

Many birds are arriving earlier each spring as temperatures warm along the East Coast of the United States. However, the farther those birds journey, the less likely they are to keep pace with the rapidly changing climate.

Modeling the effects of climate change using Google Earth

The democratization of information, where the barrier to entry is often only an Internet connection, has seen some interesting ideas about how to best educate the public about complex issues such as climate change. One of the standout efforts has to be Google Earth. More and more individual scientists, research projects, and institutes are making their data available to the public in the form of Google Earth overlays, that demonstrate vividly their findings. The UK's Met Office Hadley Centre and the British Antarctic Survey are teaming up with Google Earth to better inform the public about their work on climate modeling.

Snow-going robots to assist in climate change research

May 28, 2008 Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Pennsylvania State University are developing a hardy breed of autonomous robots designed to collect critical on-site data that will aid in the understanding of how climate change is effecting the world's ice sheets and therefore enable the creation of better climate models.

G8+5 science academies call for action on climate change

Today the science academies for the G8+5 countries issued statements urging leaders worldwide to take action on two pressing global challenges. To mitigate and adapt to climate change, nations must begin a transition to being "low-carbon societies," a shift that will require energy-saving changes in all sectors -- from housing to transportation to industry -- and the development of a range of clean energy sources. Meeting global health challenges, such as infectious disease outbreaks and the rising incidence of lifestyle-linked diseases such as diabetes, will require stronger collaboration among nations, as well as the strengthening of their health systems and health work force.

IUCN Red List for birds 2008

In May 2008, the IUCN Red List for birds was published. The latest research shows that one in eight birds species are at risk of extinction. Climate change, the report says, is firmly established as an accelerant to many of the factors contributing to loss in the number of species.

Politics trumped climate science at space agency's public affairs office (The Barrel oil blog)

It should come as no surprise, given the Bush Administration's track record, but for over a year the political appointees in the public affairs office of the US space agency "managed the topic of climate change in a manner that reduced, marginalized or mischaracterized climate change science made available to the general public."

Climate Change: Coming to a Google Earth Near You

Google announced plans earlier in the week to add layers to Earth which "utilize geographical information to show how climate change will affect our planet and its people." The new layers are the result of a partnership with the British Government, the Met Office Hadley Centre, and the British Antarctic Survey.

Climate change does double-whammy to animals in seasonal environments

Plant-eating animals in highly seasonal environments, such as the Arctic, are struggling to locate nutritious food as a result of climate change, according to research that will be published in the 21 May 2008 online edition of the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Led by Penn State Associate Professor of Biology Eric Post, the research, which focused on caribou, suggests that not only are these animals arriving at their breeding grounds too late in the season to enjoy the peak availability of food--the focus of previous research by Post--but they also are suffering from a reduced ability to locate the few high-quality plants that remain before these plants, too, become unavailable, according to Eurekalert, the news service of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
