Question

The current carbon emissions are 9.8 gigatons, or 9.8 billion tons. Complete all three scenarios to find out what happens to the global temperature if these emissions stay the same, decrease, or increase over the next century. Follow the instructions in the Data section of this report.

For each scenario, record the carbon dioxide emission rate and the global temperature. The data for the years 1960–2010 are already filled out for you.
Skilled Scientist level from Rubric: Data were recorded and analyzed accurately for each trial; observations include important details, such as measurement values, graphs, and calculations as well as other observable details when appropriate.

Scenario One: Carbon dioxide emissions stay the same
Set the carbon dioxide emissions rate to 9.8 gigatons.
Set the time step size to 10 years.
Select step forward until you have the data through the year 2110.
Record the data in the table below.
