The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change) have predicted sea levels to rise by up to 59cm by the end of the century, an estimate considered to be modest by many critics. This would threaten some of the world’s major cities such as New York, London and Tokyo as well as huge areas of low lying land including The Netherlands, where the effects of the damage are already being felt.
Adventure Ecology promotes respect and responsibility for our Planet, its environment, species and peoples by developing a greater understanding of the Planet’s greatest challenge: Climate Change. By flooding Second Life we hope to demonstrate the potential devastation that climate change could have on the environment.
As Second Life is created, owned and maintained by its citizens they have the power to change things for the better. We’re hoping that this sense of empowerment will be reflected when the second life citizens move from the virtual to the real world.
Projects on the scale of the Adventure Ecology Flood have previously been impossible within Second Life as each territory is owned and controlled by individual avatars. However, with the help of Anshe Chung, the largest real-estate developer in Second Life, Adventure Ecology has been granted special permission to flood a vast area of Second Life on an unprecedented scale.

Sounds really awesome. I'll send the word out on this!
I'm going to try to be there - this is a great use of VR.
I hate this game. I think this is an silly way to waste your time and your money to. I hope you can do something better.
