Many applications educating us about human's influence on earth and climate change can be realized with this tool. I'm wondering if and how this service could also be used to quicker stop conflicts and bring peace to the world. Any ideas?

Do you think we can “see” climate change on the yearly scale though? I had assumed that would be mistaking the scale of the situation.

Like the good or bad intentioned person that tries to use current weather as proof of their climate conclusion.

I'm very pessimistic. Short of totalitarian control over people and their minds, or maybe a techno-utopia with infinite resources for all, we'll never have a perfect world without conflict.
Since Google earth didn't fix anything this won't either.
