From 02/10/2010 to 05/06/2011 in Perugia, Palazzo Baldeschi there is an exhibition dedicated to the climate of the earth: The Changing Planet.

The Changing Planet

The exhibition gives visitors of all ages to the latest research on climate change and analyzes the impact these could have on our future. The interactive installations, pictures and dioramas that meet along the exhibition will help to understand the close link between energy resources, technological development and climate change.

Visitors can experience firsthand what impact they have on climate simple choices such as using more efficient light bulbs or public transport, and through some simulations can be calculated in real time how these choices affect the emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the temperature of the Earth. Climate change is told through the description of violent phenomena such as hurricanes, floods or seasons of intense heat.

The exhibition also presents some of the main sources of alternative energy to fossil fuels: solar energy introduced through the looking glass of a solar collector, made from the nuclear metal balls for a nuclear reactor, and wind energy thanks to the described segment of a blade a giant wind turbine. Finally, a documentary edited by Piero Angela deals with energy in the Italian context, highlighting the complexity of the solutions and the specific features that are specific to each part of the "changing planet.
