4.1 Climate design tool

The ‘Climate design tool’ is a simple model that predicts the effects of different types of geoengineering, mitigation and adaptation on future climate change, and the consequences of these actions for humans and other living things. You will use this to develop a geoengineering design for 2030–2100, and then explain your choices. Can you design the best possible future?
