As you may know the bbc is conducting a climate change experiment and basically they want as many people to take part as possible. The more people that take part the more valuable/useful the results will be. The experiment is in collaboration with the MET office and it uses some model from a university or laboratory in California.

The experiment is for GLOBAL climate change.

The experiment works by using your unused processing power of your computer and you can get rid of it when its finished. You can have it as your screen saver to see its progress too!

Heres the link; http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/hottopics/climatechange
