Each player is the leader of his/her country, hoping to be re-elected while trying to cope with
the effects of climate change and, hopefully, reverse it.
You'll make Decisions to change the energies you use or use them in a different way,
researching topics in the Glossary. You'll also answer Questions on Climate Change and respond
to Natural Events (such as volcanic eruptions) which affect Climate, People's Choices
(unpredictable, popular human actions which impact Greenhouse Gas emissions and tax
revenues), and economic or political decisions by other countries that affect the level of
greenhouse gas emissions.
You win The Climate Change Game – and your delighted citizens re-elect you - if you
- can help reduce global Greenhouse Gas emissions to the level required by the Kyoto Protocol
AND
- are not spending more money than people pay in taxes, AND
- maintain Voter Support of at least 51 percent AND
- Earth’s Temperature is “comfortable" for life.

(Global Warming Game)
All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly
dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the
long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here,
and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made
natural disaster.
