A new interactive Google Earth map showing the impacts of a 4C world was launched today by the British Government.

Pushing the barriers with Google Earth technology, this multi platform, interactive map highlights some of the changes that may occur if the global average temperature rises by 4C.

Google Earth lends a human face to climate science by featuring videos of climate scientists from the UK explaining the latest scientific research .
