BBC Climate Change Game

Ever thought that you could do a better job at running the EU? Would you be doing more to prevent global warming and climate change? What would you sacrifise to save the planet?

Well now you get a glimps of what its like with a online game titled “climate challenge” created by the BBC. The game puts you in charge of the EU in 1990. You must advance to 2100 deciding how to divide your recources, increase and spend taxes, and cut emissions to fight climate change.

The BBC created the game to help “give an understanding of some of the causes of climate change, particularly those related to carbon dioxide emissions”.

“The producers’ primary goal was to make a fun, challenging game. At times it was necessary to strike a compromise between strict scientific accuracy and playability. For this reason, Climate Challenge should not be taken as a serious climate change prediction.”
