Environmental / ecosystem monitoring. temperature levels / air quality. modelling specific regions vs global modelling

   * Talk about pollution, global warming
   * Inspired from Second Life, largescale weather-based model - has this been finished?? 

Pros:

   * Relevant and applicable
   * Can do something that can't see easily in the real world because too big and too slow
   * Could do something with displaying raw data from Netlogo and then work with graphing, stats, or something similar
         o Could compare this to a big experiment by one of the national labs or similar - see if your results follow the same trend as the national lab's 

Cons:

   * Kind of vague, needs more details
   * Difficult to see this change in real world, difficult to validate 

Comments:

   * Existing Netlogo model similar to this (climate change model)
   * Nice to find someone else's large scale model and then replicate
