With the goal of limiting global warming to +2.0 degrees C, you should tweak the numbers for the six key players (US, EU, Other Developed countries, China, India, Other Developing Countries) to get to +2.0 degrees C or less by 2100. How will you do it?
· Try changing ‘Emissions Peak Year’ to some year earlier than 2100.
· Once you change the Emissions Peak Year, you can change ‘Reductions Begin Year’ and then set the level of reduction per year (some percentage)
· Try preventing deforestation (by altering percent) or increasing afforestation (also by percent).
Once you have played around a bit, you should write up a brief (1 page report) on the project. How did you limit the increase in global temperature? Were there any key methods that altered the balance in your favor? Once you describe what you did, I want you to write about the actual practicalities (in the real world) of what you did. In other words, would it be possible to implement the changes you made in our world of real people? What economic sacrifices would have to be made by different countries to achieve your plan? What would be the biggest challenges politically in implementing your goal? Do you think your plan would have a chance of being enacted in our real world? Other things you might write about in your one page report could include what your energy sources of choice would be? Would you use all renewables? Nuclear power? Would poor countries be allowed to burn coal at all? These are just some suggestions for where you might go with this.
