Timelapse in Google Earth - Watch time unfold and witness 40 years of planetary change

by•
In the biggest update to Google Earth since 2017, you can now see our planet in an entirely new dimension — time. With Timelapse in Google Earth, 24 million satellite photos from the past 37 years have been compiled into an interactive 4D experience.

After watching this, I can't imagine how anyone will be able, with a straight face, to claim that climate change is a hoax. Watching ~40 years of satellite imagery as a timelapse on Google Earth makes it undeniable. It's like we're termites.
Wow, this is really interesting. It's amusing to look at your own city and remember certain things. And yes, the climate change is really not to be dismissed, just if you look at the rainforests including palm oil plantations. But it is also exciting for fast growing cities / countries like Singapore or Dubai. Thanks a lot Chris! edit 1: mmm time to load the screens is way too much and I have a 500Mbits connection...
Yup, this is crazy!
This is by far one of the best launches from Google in recent times. It's simple and makes climate change awareness more accessible for everyone.

ugh, so true.
I teared up when I saw the development in the Amazons. Is like being witness of so many unique lifeforms dissapear in front of your eyes... and it continues.
Wow! This is scary?
Hunter
yes, it is.
Thx for sharing . 100% gave me the feels in the feeling bits. 😳😕🤗
Wow! Will go to read the blog about this. Upvote!
No need to go that far back to realize planet earth didn't get a good deal with humans. Amazing work from the Google Earth team!
cognitive dissonance ftw. Ain't what you don't know that gets ya into trouble, etc ;-)
Incredible examples!
Such a great idea. Also makes me think about the damage that we have given to the universe.
Did the update come to the VR version as well? The Earth VR experience is incredible and experiencing this new feature in VR would probably be quite impactful for anyone using it.

Doomclock for map geeks. Watch it using 5g and eating a Whopper and you just drowned another atoll.
