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.
The Met Office layer features animation of temperature changes over the next 100 years, while the British Antarctic Survey offers images of the impact on Antarctic ice shelves.
More information on the new layers is available at Google's LatLong blog.
