Google Earth has unveiled a crystal-ball like feature that will predict what planet will look like up to the year 2100. Using data provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Google has created a new 3D mapping program that will show the range of expected climate change under different global emissions scenarios that could occur throughout the century.

Narrated by Al Gore, Google will also add layers showing what communities around the world are doing to combat climate change.

Because Google Earth isn’t eerily cool enough, the smarty pants over at Perdue University have found a way to use it’s technology to map America’s carbon emissions. Along with Purdue, the project also involved researchers from Colorado State University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

The high-resolution map, available here, shows carbon dioxide emissions in metric tons in residential and commercial areas by state, county or per capita. The map is called “Vulcan” so named after the Roman god of fire, although that word usually brings to mind something entirely more geeky. The ambitious and meaningful project, which took almost three years to finish, quantifies carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline. It also breaks down emissions by the sectors responsible including aircraft, commercial, electricity production, industrial, residential and transport.

The United States of America accounts for 25% of global emissions of carbon dioxide, and now we can all be reminded of that disheartening fact with this handy dandy dynamic carbon emission Google Earth map.
