Brought to you by Red Hill Studios, the creators of the popular Painting with Time app, Painting with Time – Climate Change lets you discover for yourself how our world is transforming due to global warming. Collaborator Gary Braasch, creator of the World View of Global Warming web site, searched across the planet for the most striking visual examples of climate change.

Special features:
- 17 time lapse sequences of climate change
- Two artistic modes - Painting and Slicing
- Eight preset brushes and slicing patterns
- Illustrated summary of Climate Change
- Step-by-step tutorial on Capturing Change yourself

Future updates will include time lapse sequences created by you and other dedicated 'nature trackers.'

Distinguished climate scientists Dr. Katharine Hayhoe of Texas Tech University and Dr. Todd Sanford of the Union of Concerned Scientists were content consultants for the project.

Painting with Time - Climate Change is an extension of the "Exploring Time" documentary series and web site - which was developed under a generous grant from the National Science Foundation.
