Features of the site include

  • Interactive maps characterizing climate conditions at various global warming levels
  • A comprehensive set of Questions and Answers about Global Climate Models
  • Chapters (Volumes) on Stability, Risk, and Complexity, each with background information and interactive maps
  • Thematic collections of literature, film, art, and other media to encourage deeper understandings of our planet, challenge conventional thinking, and help us all envision ways to live well in a changing climate
