Exploring Climate Change for Android

11 things about Exploring Climate Change

1. The simulation assumes that global warming is caused by the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and that this increase is a direct result of the burning of fossil fuels.

2. Explore the consequences of climate change and global warming by adjusting the settings of this simulation.

3. If the rate of change over the last 20 years continues unchanged, then carbon dioxide will continue to accumulate in the atmosphere causing the planet to warm and sea levels to rise.

4. Instead, the simulation uses the changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide over the last 20 years to project those changes into the future to 2100.

5. If we do nothing to mitigate carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the planet will continue to warm to at least 3°C by the year 2100.

6. Use the simulation to explore what can be done to slow, stop, or even reverse global warming.

7. To illustrate the consequences of global warming, popups will display "tipping points" and other consequences that may occur as a result of global warming.

8. This app provides a very simple simulation of the accumulation of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere.

9. Increasing the use of green energy and burning less fossil fuel will slow the warming of the planet.

10. Energy conservation and carbon capture are also settings that can be controlled for each simulation.

11. Climate change is real and global warming is happening now.
