@Jeegabyte After releasing the 3D Timelapse feature to track climate change impact on #GoogleEarth, the search giant has now shared a set of climate experiments under the “Heartbeat of the Earth” initiative -- a series of online artworks depicting scientific climate data.

@Jeegabyte The project is a collaboration between Google Arts & Culture Lab, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and a bunch of artists. It was first introduced last year during world environment day.

@Jeegabyte These artists used key findings from a UN report and data from scientific institutions like the US-based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the World Meteorological Organisation, to create interactive pieces of art concerning our climate.

@Jeegabyte The eight pieces of art address topics like air pollution, rising sea levels, melting glaciers, the impact of microplastics, declining biodiversity and other climate change-related issues.

@Jeegabyte Artists bring the answer to the most complex scientific questions through art. Answers to questions like where do the disposed plastic go, or what can jellyfish teach us about climate change, or simply what species will be lost due to temperature rise?

@Jeegabyte These interactive art pieces let you learn about the climate challenges using creative data visualisations, which is a simpler medium to convey complex subjects instead of complicated graphs and charts.
