Free interactive climate science investigation exploring CO₂, greenhouse warming, ice-albedo feedback and Earth-system change with a browser model.
Students use the free Climate Machine interactive to predict, test, observe and explain how increasing atmospheric CO₂ affects global temperature, ice cover and planetary albedo.
The activity introduces the greenhouse effect, Earth’s energy balance and the positive ice-albedo feedback, while encouraging students to distinguish an initial climate change from the responses that can amplify it.
