Group of answer choices
steadily decreasing
steadily increasing
remaining constant
1.3 What happened when you followed Steps 1-3 on the bottom of page 5 in the Assignment Introduction and Simulator Overview) How did the Temperature Increase line (purple line) change relative to the Business as Usual condition (black line)?
1.4 What happened to the Temperature Increase line when you made the changes in Steps 5-9?

2.1 Did you enter the current year (2021) for Emissions Peak Year in all 6 country groups?
Group of answer choices
True
False
2.2 What is the ending value of CO2 Concentration in 2100 (in ppm)?
2.3 What happens to the Temperature Increase graph when all countries stop their emissions growth in the current year?
Group of answer choices
It still shows an increasing trend but it is not as steep as the Business as Usual scenario.
It decreases after the current year.
It becomes a flat line after the current year.
It stops increasing after the current year.
It ends at a higher point than the Business as Usual trend.
2.4 Do you think it would be possible to get every country to stop increasing their emissions in the current year? (yes or no)
2.5 If you said yes, explain how you could make that happen. If no, why not?
3.1 What happens to CO2 Concentration in the Atmosphere line (purple line) relative to the Busine
ss as Usual black line when you maximize forest cover for all countries?
Group of answer choices
It still increases but is a little below the Business as Usual trend.
It decreases.
It stays the same.
It looks the same as the Business as Usual trend but is a little higher.
3.2 What is the ending value of CO2 Concentration in 2100?
3.3 What is the ending value of Temperature Increase in 2100?
4.1a What was the ending CO2 Concentration (in ppm) for Scenario 1? (Remember this has to be 450 ppm or less. It IS possible to get the concentration below 450 ppm.)
4.1b What values did you use to get the results in Scenario 1? (Copy and paste either a screenshot of the table on the simulator or of the table from the worksheet with the values you used.)
4.1c How possible do you think this would be? How would you try to achieve these emissions reductions and/or forestation policies? What would have to happen, either through changes in technology or in changes in peoples behavior, to implement these policies? How would they be implemented and paid for?
4.2a What was the ending CO2 Concentration (in ppm) for your second scenario?
4.2b What different values did you use for Scenario 2 to get this result?
4.2c Would this be harder or easier to implement than Scenario 1? How possible do you think this scenario would be? How would you try to achieve these emissions reductions and/or forestation policies? What would have to happen, either through changes in technology or in changes in peoples behavior, to implement these policies? How would they be implemented and paid for?
