BBC and several universities have joined forces to predict climate change, and they need your help. Dowload a small program on your computer and you will give your small share to this effort.

By combining the processing power of thousands of home computers it’ll hopefully be possible to make more accurate climate change predictions (to make people act). You don’t have to do anything else than download and open the program. Whenever you have your computer on the program will calculate the chosen climate prediction in the background.

Every contributor has his individual variable changes for the prediction, which is calculated from the year 1920. If your model ends up with a climate unsimilar to current year 2006, your experiment will stop. However, if the model is close enough it will continue to calculate untill it reaches 2080. This will give researchers multiple models to compare climate changes happening in the coming years.
