We need the computer power you're not using. Join in the largest climate prediction experiment ever, developed by climate scientists for the BBC using the Met Office climate model.

If you watched the 1 O'Clock news today you'll of see the BBC have taken part in a "seti" type project to try and predict climate change. You simply download the exe and it pretty much does it all for you. I've also set up a "team" so we can all see each others stats, and because it's "fun" so download, sign up, and joing in.

On the teams list just search for metrpol247. http://bbc.cpdn.org/team_display.php?teamid=16

Things have moved faster than I realised!

Sounds like it slows your PC down something chronic.

Fortunately it will now be going at the same rate as your brain.

I kid, I kid.

Is it trying to scare us?
