Global Climate Impacts & Mitigation Forecast

Use a computational model to forecast the impacts of climate change on Earth systems (HS-ESS3-5, HS-ESS3-6) and evaluate technological solutions designed to reduce human impact (HS-ESS3-4).

Human Activity

Decreasing 40 Gt/yr Increasing

Adjust the baseline trajectory of human emissions before technological mitigation.

Technological Solutions

Select solutions to reduce net impacts. Compare your mitigated forecast (solid lines) against the "Business as Usual" baseline (dashed lines).

Atmospheric CO₂ Concentration

The primary driver of the system. (ppm)

Global Temperature Anomaly

Increase relative to pre-industrial levels. (°C)

Ocean Acidification (Hydrosphere)

Surface ocean pH. Lower is more acidic.

Glacial Ice Volume (Cryosphere)

Percent of current volume remaining.
