- Global warming is the increase of average world temperature as a result of what is known as the greenhouse effect. Certain gases in the atmosphere act like glass in a greenhouse, allowing sunlight through to heat the earth's surface but trapping the heat as it radiates back into space.
- It's being predicted that by the next century Earth will see a rise of nearly 5°C in the global temperature due to Global warming.
- Team 2° believes this rise in temperature can be restrained to 2°C and aims to make it a reality with this project .
-
What is Global warming?
- Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth's climate system observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere.
-
What causes Global warning?
- It is caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mainly from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial activities and farming.
-
How big is the Global Warming?
- Climate change is already happening: temperatures are rising, drought and wild fires are starting to occur more frequently, rainfall patterns are shifting, glaciers and snow are melting and the global mean sea level is rising.
-
Project 2° has simulated to design the most opitimal scenario to restrain the rise in global temperature due to global warming.
-
In this Project Team 2° took into consideration factors such as:
- Energy Supply
- Transport
- Buildings and Industry
- Population Growth
- Economic Growth
- Land and Industrial Emissions
- Carbon Removal
along with various sub-factors such as:
- Use of Coal
- Renewable Resources
- New Zero Concept
- Carbon Price
- Energy Efficiency
- Afforestation
- Use of Technology for Carbon Removal , etc.
-
Team 2° has also given insights about existing green technologies such as:
- FuelGems
- Climeworks
- Terramera
- CarbonCure
which are working efficiently towards Net-Zero Carbon , Carbon Neutrality or simply Carbon Removal.
-
Team 2° has used En-ROADS to simulate the optimal solution which is practical and achievable. En-ROADS is a transparent simulator developed by Climate Interactive, Ventana Systems, and MIT Sloan and has been calibrated against a wide range of existing integrated assessment, climate and energy models.
-
We also have a User Dashboard which can be accessed on authentication (Firebase Google Auth) which is user personalized and it also has a Green Chat feature.
-
Green Chat is a Exclusive Feature where users can discuss with each other various solution to the problem and come up with the next big change to help us make this initiative a great success.
