What are some factors in global warming that are not accounted for in this model?

1. What is the greenhouse gas effect, and how does the model we’re using simulate it? Make sure you include proper citations (both inline citations and a works cited page at the end of your essay). You can find citations for the model itself by clicking on “Model Info” at the bottom of the page and scrolling down to where it says “How to Cite”. For some terms like albedo, you will have to find citations elsewhere. You can use Wikipedia as a starting point, but you should cite a different source in the final paper. 2. Find a model with no clouds and no CO2, where the average global temperature does not go above 25°C in the first 5000 ticks. What were the settings for this model? Use Excel or Google Sheets to find a quadratic trendline for this model. 3. Find the derivative of your quadratic trendline, and use this to answer the following questions. • How fast is the average global temperature increasing (or decreasing) at 1000 ticks? • How fast is the average global temperature increasing (or decreasing) at 4000 ticks? • Is the rate of change in the temperature speeding up or slowing down? What does this say about the second derivative? • What will be the highest average global temperature that this model will reach? At how many ticks will this happen? Or is there a highest average global temperature? Justify your answer. • In the paper, make sure you explain how calculus was used to answer these questions. If there are graphs, include them in your answer and where appropriate, try to connect them to your explanations of the calculus. 4. Is a quadratic trendline really appropriate for modeling climate change? What could be problematic about it? Are there other types of trendlines like exponential, logarithmic, or a higher degree polynomial trendline that would be more appropriate? Pick another type of trendline that you think is a better fit and explain why. Create this trendline in Excel or Google Sheets and answer each of the questions from the previous problem again using this new trendline. How are your answers different than before? 5. Now add 100 CO2 to your model. Run the simulation again, and use Excel or Google Sheets to create two trendlines as before (one quadratic and one of another type of your choosing.) Find the derivatives, and answer the same questions as before. How does the additional 100 CO2 change your answers to these questions? 6. What assumptions has this model made? What are some factors in global warming that are not accounted for in this model? Do you think this model is realistic? 7. What is the average global temperature in degrees Celsius right now and by how much do scientists think this temperature could rise before producing catastrophic global warming? What would this model and your calculations say about this?
