New Climate Data Visualization Tool

Climate Change eXplorer tool. The objective of this data visualisation tool is to enhance transparency by bringing climate-related statistics to life and making them easier to digest.  The tool allows the user to visualise over 40 different data sets using animated "bubble" plots for the period 1990-2010. The user can choose which data sets to show on the axes, as well as the data set used to determine the size of the bubbles (e.g. population). It is also possible for users to add their own "custom" data sets using the Data Management function. The Climate Change eXplorer is available at http://oe.cd/ccexplorer.Click here to edit the title
