How will temperature, sea level and other climate properties change in the future?
To begin your investigation, select one of the experimental scenarios to explore how different factors can change our climate.
Select a scenario to begin:
Rapid decarbonisation: CO2 concentrations peak in the next few years and drop to about 420ppm by the end of the 21st Century
Ambitious emission targets: CO2 concentrations rise slowly reaching about 670ppm by the end of the 21st Century.
Technology-driven emission reductions: CO2 concentrations rise slowly reaching about 540pm by the end of the 21st Century.
Increasing emissions throughout the century, following historical growth patterns: CO2 concentrations rise slowly reaching about 940pm by the end of the 21st Century.
How would temperatures react to sudden release in CO2?
How would temperatures react to sudden release in methane?
What would happen if we made the planet more reflective?
Can we pump aerosols into the atmosphere to counteract warming?
What happens if geoengineering technology suddenly fails?
What would happen if we suddenly stopped all greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions?
What happens if Solar output increases or decreases?
How does a large volcanic eruption change global temperatures?
