Melting polar ice cap viewable on Google Earth

Google Earth has proven to be a helpful tool for those interested in monitoring climate change and its effect on the planet. They've had add-ons to their free program that show the harmful devastation to Earth in real time, such as deforestation, climate change, air pollution and now the melting of the polar ice caps.

This downloadable software add-on shows sea ice trends, floating buoy tracks, snow cover, brightness, infrared, win, temperature, atmospheric pressure, iceberg tracks and more. It also takes ice data from 1976 to the present and animates it to represent exactly what's been happening to the Arctic ice. You can download Google Earth for free from earth.google.com and the add-on from the NSIDC website.
