We are thrilled to announce the launching of C-Learn, an online
freeware interactive climate simulator.

Check it out at: www.climateinteractive.org

C-Learn is the 3-region version of the scientifically-reviewed policy-
maker-oriented 15-20 region simulator "C-ROADS" built by
Sustainability Institute, Ventana Systems, and MIT.  You may have seen
C-ROADS output in Jonathan Pershing's plenary presentation in April at
Bonn. The simulator is being used by the Climate Action Initiative to
support the UNFCCC negotiations with analysis and interactive policy
exercises.

C-Learn allows users to test changes in fossil fuel emissions (in 3
global regions), deforestation, and afforestation and observe
graphical and numerical results for CO2 concentrations, temperature,
sea level rise, cumulative emissions, and emissions per capita.

C-Learn software, equations and interface will be shared using open
source approaches via Climate Interactive, a partnership of
organizations out of Sustainability Institute working to address
climate change.
