Around a third increase in worldwide energy consumption since 2000, with Africa supposed to be almost half the world by 2100 and yes growth in total population is going to be 10% of what it was the last 80 years but there are a lot of people who currently live on five dollars a day, with unknowns, is it time an interactive of what 4-5c will look like if we reach that in a hundred years for local climate changes? I know there is a study out there that showed all ice gone in 2000 years at the fastest rate at 5c, it also had different temperatures and timeframes and thought this en-roads tool has shown to me how ineffective anything other than degrowth seems feasible, unless the modern countries choose that, I wonder if the subsistence farmer will. Saying that the world will take action seems the same as saying a fat person who is still getting fatter, will go on a fast, or a crash diet, later...just seems like too much hope and thought a realistic tool of what 5-15 above would look like, with a possible cap at 30c as a global minimum average?

❤ the very crisp and simple way of presentation

This would be also a great tool for learning in general Is there any book on learning unknown concepts with causal diagrams?

Thank you very much for the nice video that is very useful to me in 2024.

I loved this workshop. I will definitely use En-ROADS in some of my classes. Thank you.

This is so so so cool. THANK YOU FOR DEVELOPING SOLUTION ORIENTED simulations. We need to discuss real solutions if we're going to reach real solutions. I had an amazing time doing just that with my fellow NOAA young changemakers in DC in july '24. 🙏🙏

This video showcases how the En-ROADS simulator can facilitate engaging discussions about climate solutions.

This condensed version of the En-ROADS Climate Workshop demonstrates how effectively we can use the simulator to explore and understand climate strategies even in a short timeframe. It’s a great example of how we can make a difference with limited time and resources.

As a participant in the En-ROADS Climate Workshop program, I’m excited to highlight this insightful session from COP 25 in Madrid, where Ellie Johnston, Bindu Bhandari, and Dr. Elizabeth Sawin present the En-ROADS Climate Solutions Simulator. This workshop provides a valuable opportunity to explore how different climate strategies impact our future. Note that there have been updates to the simulator since this event, reflecting the latest advancements in climate modeling.

This interactive workshop provides a dynamic way to explore and support impactful climate strategies using the En-ROADS simulation model. It’s an excellent opportunity to see how we can collaboratively address climate change.

These Kaya Graphs provide a powerful visual breakdown of the key factors driving CO2 emissions from the energy sector. It's fascinating to see how global population growth, rising GDP per capita, energy efficiency improvements, and the shift towards cleaner energy all interact. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for tackling climate change and shaping a sustainable future. 🌍💡

This is how can we subsidies the efficiency of renewable energy, and innovate new way to reduce climate change around the world.

Yes! Thank you for posting!

This is just what we need to establish better, more effective policies at all levels of government. You guys are awesome!

Got censored FOUR TIMES. Now that's real science!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any difference of "opinion" will get censored. This is science???

SOOO COOL, WHAT??? Dude, some of the coolest stuff exists out there -- and NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT IT!!! Thank you MIT people! o7

Creating enroad scenarios

En routeing road to climate Vs capitalism and changes

der Ton ist leider etwas knisternd sonst sehr gutes Video für ein wichtiges Thema.

Impressive. What's missing in all the equations is the cost of chosen futures expressed in energy and raw materials units. E.g. when considering direct air capture (DAC) technologies, the astronomical energy requirements to deploy these at scale make them unrealistic as a solution (they make great propaganda, but they are unrealistic as solution). Raw materials also needs to be taken into account. Driving the Renewables slider all the way up produces simulated outcomes that look attractive, but once the associated amount of copper, lithium and other raw materials is taken into account, the same problem as with energy requirement comes up: unrealistic scenarios (the price of copper is already being pushed to record highs due to the energy transition - rising prices can make certain simulation scenario's unrealistic). Conclusion: please add energy and raw materials requirements into the equations. Great work!

Thanks!!

I believe that there is hope for the problem with the younger generation's leadership. I believe that carbon taxing, quicker additional reforestation, and public works that will help the addition of greater amounts of public works that will enhance electrification and/or hydrogen fueled vehicles.

I am trying to see how it works! thank you very much for letting people learn!!!!

Thanks - Perfect timing! I raised this a few days ago. Knowing that current fossil fuel subsidies are specifically factored in is great. Is it accurate to say that taxing fossil fuels is the same as reducing subsidies? Clearly local/national tax policies are not an adjustable variable in a disaggregated model. could you suggest a way of presenting that local element to an audience, when what the domestic end-user sees is high taxation at the fuel pump? To what extent - i.e. dollar for dollar - does moving the carbon tax slider correlate with the fuel tax sliders?. I'm presuming the assumption is they're taxed at the producer end, rather than the consumer end? Great to see the model being so actively developed.

This is so reassuring! Confidence when we step outside the door with the model will go a very long way to presenting it it confidently, and it being received confidently. Virtuous circle!

Drew, you are a wonderful clear presenter, but I would ask just one thing: please STATE what you are clicking on. Remember we are watching this on many different devices, some very small. And we are trying to learn how to lead people through the same thing. So if you would just speak exactly what you are clicking on, that would help so much!

Linda Cheung!
