Sacrificing the environment for comfort is not necessary, according to a new report by the British government. The Brits say we can all improve our quality of life while simultaneously driving down carbon emissions—though this will take a big effort from all countries across all sectors. With this idea the British government launched globalcalculator.org, a web tool that allows anyone to see how perusing different types of economic development will shape the world’s temperature by 2050. The tool might be a little more than a fun dashboard to click around on, but it does let you visualize how the decisions made today will change world in 35 years time.
We can all live better, greener lives by 2050
