Explore Climate Change With Google Earth

The United Nations has teamed up with Google Earth to upload their "Atlas of Our Changing World". Google Earth users can now:

...zoom in and fly over virtual environmental "hotspots" like the explosion of shrimp farms on Thailand's west coast, China's massive Three Gorges Dam or the vanishing snows of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

A new use for one of my favorite computer toys.

Uh, isn't that Chinese dam going to be producing electricity without fossil fuels? That is a GREEN project, no?

And isn't farming shrimp better than depleting the ocean's fisheries, leaving them better able to repopulate the sea on their own naturally?

And don't forget to thank the oil industry for saving the whales.

Typical neocon UN bashing. Move on, nothing to see here.
