Models and Interactive Charts at Climate Change site
Protesters of all ages and from many countries are launching their planetary cry of distress. They want a future and they want one that does not include a climate crisis. They want something to be done by governments, but few specifically ask for anything other than “more action”. Some might ask for “renewables” while others say they are not scientists. The want “results” and they want governments to “do more”. Many say governments are doing “nothing”.
In reality, many governments of industrialised countries are doing a great deal and spending large sums of money. Nevertheless, often the results are far removed from the objectives. There are reasons for the poor results. This page will help you understand why.
When mechanisms are understood, and reliable data is available, it’s possible to develop models that can show what would happen under different conditions. For example, you know that sea levels are rising, but you might wonder how much they will rise in the coastal city where you live. You might also want to know what would happen if greater or lesser efforts are made to reduce Greenhouse gasses. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can design the energy policy of an entire country. These are the sorts of things that you can investigate on this page.
These charts make it very easy to make assumptions, and see the results. We intend to continuously add new charts that examine additional subjects. If you’re interested in going further, you’ll find lots more information in our Document Library.
