COP15), Google Earth is <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/google-climate-change-tools-for-cop15.html">launching a series of layers</a> that allow users to look at possible future climate scenarios depending on our actions now. One new layer is a guided tour of potential climate change effects narrated by none other than Al Gore.</p> <p>The other layers show climate projections, including temperature and precipation changes, in a low emissions scenario and a high emissions scenario. In the next few weeks, Google plans on adding layers that show solutions for dealing with these changes.</p> <p>In addition to these new layers, Google has also launched their own <a href="http://www.youtube.com/cop15">YouTube channel for COP15</a>.
