Multinational companies can track various climate change models through a new Google Earth tool.

The tool, which is a series of layers and tours showing the effects of different climate change models, would allow companies to see how climate change might affect their far-flung operations.

Google recently unveiled the tool at its blog. The tool was developed in collaboration with the Danish government, with an eye toward using it at the upcoming Copenhagen climate talks in December.

The Google Earth plug-in is required to use the tool.

high school, I signed a campaign to “Go Green, Promote
