Google has unveiled its newest Google Earth feature, a 3-D map that allows you to see the effects of climate change almost anywhere in the world.

The new climate change feature for Google Earth lets you view some of the major environmental concerns (rising sea level, rainforest deforestation, glacial melting, and species turnover) and how they affect different areas of the globe. There are also special features like “Climate Action in California” and “Protecting the Arctic Ocean.”

Download it from the Google website.
