Use Your Computer to Help Scientists Understand Climate Change - UPDATED
Put your computer to work for the environment when you are not using it! With software from www.climateprediction.net, you can download climate models onto your home/work/school computer to help scientist make predicitons about climate change. It runs on the background of your computer and stays out the way of whne you are working. The software is very good about not slowing down your computer when you are using it. Here is an excerpt from the Climate Prediction website:
The climateprediction.net experiment has been developed to allow a state-of-the-art climate prediction model to be run on home/ school/ work computers. By getting data from thousands of climate models, we will generate the world's largest climate prediction experiment.
If you must leave your computer all on day, at least you can help scientists learn more about climate change, check it out!
UPDATE - You can join other Northwest environmentalists to compete with other groups around the world to determine who has harnessed the most computing power to help this study. The group is called "Northwest (US) Environmental Movement". You can signup for this group by editing your user profile, within the application. Feel free to join and spread the word to others!
