Climate Change - UK by user27089 on 02-14-2006 at 09:02 PM

Saw this on the BBC, thought some people may want to take part.

Basically, you download the software, and you configure it a little bit, and it figures out what the weather is going to be like in your area in the next 70 years...

You can download the software here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/hottopics/climatechange/, and basically, it uploads some stats, and in May, there is a television program on the BBC about it 8-).

Btw, looks like anyone can use this. After you've installed etc, there's a page that says:

# View the user map to see how many people are taking part, and where in the world they are.

I'm gonna save this as a post-it note so that in 70 years, I can look at it and see how accurate it was.
