The CAIT Team at WRI is pleased to announce the inclusion of a subset
of CAIT-U.S. 4.0 data in Google's Public Data Explorer.
Google’s Public Data Explorer is a new tool that makes large data sets
easier to understand and explore. Users can reimagine data sets from a
growing list of providers (like the U.S. Census, Eurostat, the World
Bank, and, now, WRI’s Climate Analysis Indicators Tool - CAIT) as
interactive charts and maps that illustrate data relationships and
trends over time. These new data visualizations can be embedded in
other websites and easily shared via email or social networks.
See the tool in action at:

At the moment, only U.S. state greenhouse gas data (excluding land-use
change and forestry emissions) are included in the Public Data
Explorer, but we hope to add more data in the future.
Let us know what you think we should add next by replying to this
message or filling out a 1-minute survey:
