4 degrees of Warming - Google Earth Climate Change Map
I was downloading forms so that I could apply for Skye's passport when I came across this google earth interactive map showing the possible effects around the world of 4 degrees of warming. There are facts and videos about the different effects, ranging from the hottest temperatures in Europe increasing by 8 degrees celcius, to increased risk of forest fire in southern Australia to 150m people a year more being flooded by 2075 due to sea level rise.
A great resource for Geographers to get students to do their own research into the effects of climate change. It could also be used in our module Global Warming, Global Warning. In particular in the 'What are the Consequences?' lesson.
Down load the KML file from the fco website using the link above. Enjoy the weekend, Lucy
