Projected Emission Scenarios

Updated: Mar 11



Use the interactive to see what will happen to carbon emissions in three future scenarios:

  • Continue with current carbon emissions

  • Cut carbon emissions in half

  • Cut carbon emissions to zero


Observe what happens to carbon levels in the atmosphere for each of the scenarios.




  1. Run all three scenarios provided in the interactive.

  2. Which scenarios met the carbon level goal for 2050?
