Climate change? Yup, theres an app for that.
Sadly, it wont solve the warming of the earths climate, or the almost-irreversible changes being wrought by greenhouse gases and acidifying oceans. But anyone with an iPad can download an application created by NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory that shows the jarring before-and-after on Earths features, landscapes and glaciers.
The iPad application, Images of Change, was released on December 3 and demonstrates through photos taken at the same time of year, though decades apart, what has occurred. It pairs a photo of the same place from early in the 20th century with a present-day view. All locations have changed dramatically, NASA pointed out in its statement, be it through disasters such as fire or tsunami, dam building or urban growth, and, of course, climate change. Drought, melting glaciers, floodsit's all there. ...........
