Google Earth on Thursday added a timelapse feature to the popular platform, providing a glimpse into how climate change, urbanization, and deforestation have altered the planet over the last four decades.
Created with 24 million satellite images, along with 800 curated videos and interactive guides, the feature allows users to see a timelapse of any place on the planet, using inputs from the NASA, US Geological Survey s Landsat program, and the European Union s Copernicus program.
Climate change is causing more frequent and severe flooding, droughts, storms, and heatwaves as average global temperatures rise to new records.
