CHANGE is the second in the CCR series of animated visualizations created from simulations using the GENESIS earth systems model and EVE predictive vegetation model.
This video dramatically displays computer model estimates of changes in temperature, precipitation, and forests caused by the effect of greenhouse warming due to anticipated increases of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere over the next 300 years. These increases in carbon dioxide are primarily due to the predicted burning of fossil fuels over this time period.
CHANGE has a musical background and will be available in the future with optional narration.
CHANGE appears in the 1995 SIGGRAPH Video Review.
