Average Temperature Change as Affected by CO2 Concentration [Model]

System Model

This model shows the relationship between CO2 concentrations and average temperature change over time and the data is represented on a graph. The variable affecting the output "Average temperature change" is "Change in concentration due to fossil fuel emissions" which is caused by the burning of fossil fuels within factories or gasoline emissions from vehicles and etc. This variable directly affects the change in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and the overall CO2 concentration. The data should support that an increase in CO2 emissions/concentrations will most likely lead to an increase in the average temperature change.

Agent Model

The Agent Model displays the many causes and effects of the Earth’s atmosphere rising to the point of Global Warming. The model displays the effects of industrial workspaces and emissions from gasoline of cars that causes an influx of carbon emissions and fossil fuels to go into the clean air. The data should support that the carbon and fossil fuel emissions cause global warming to spread around the earth warming up the earth’s temperature.
