Game Plan V1.0 1

This document summarizes a logical framework for addressing the climate challenge in 6 steps: 1. Understand the link between CO2 concentration and climate change based on IPCC models and research. 2. Choose a target temperature increase to stabilize the Earth's climate, acknowledging the implications of that choice. 3. Determine the allowable amount of carbon that can be released annually based on the temperature target. 4. Calculate the usable energy from fossil fuels given the carbon budget and determine what additional "clean power" is needed. 5. Analyze potential clean energy sources to make up the difference. 6. Choose an energy mix to meet clean power needs and estimate the engineering effort required
