Disingenuous App
This app is fairly accurate up until about the last hundred years when the images become completely disingenuous
If you go back to the Cambrian and Ordovician, the app shows planetary temperatures to be 25 to 30°C with 5000 ppm CO2. But fast-forward to the last hundred years and the CO2 content of the atmosphere shows 380-400 ppm and mean temp of 15.5 (half that of the Ordovician.
But the Ordovician image is bluish green and very “cool” an appearance. The so-called Anthropocene is red and orange like the Earth is extremely hot despite the fact that it’s half the temperature observed 450 million years ago and 1/10 the concentration of CO2
As a professional earth scientist, this makes me want to vomit. It’s so blatantly obvious what this app is trying to do. At least be more scientific and accurate in your presentation.

EarthViewer needs an update!
I installed this app several years ago, had completely forgotten about it. Ran across it tonight, fired it up, very cool Geologic History simulation! BUT … the only way to exit the app is to power cycle my iPhone! The normal screen gestures to access are disabled by this app. It appears to have not been updated for a very long time.
