Purpose: Employ the Mono Lake model adapted from "Modeling the Environment" by Andrew Ford as a basis for developing a set of guidelines to support asynchronous multi-user model development.

Mono Lake is an ancient inland sea on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada. From a policy point of view Mono Lake is the story of how a handful of people began a campaign to save a dying lake.

As shone here, the Carbon Dioxide humans produce causes many negative changes to the Earth and its inhabitants.      As explained by the Atmospheric CO2 group, CO2 is produced in many ways - such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, etc.  The CO2 then gets released into the atmosphere.

As explained by the Atmospheric CO2 group, CO2 is produced in many ways - such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, etc.  The CO2 then gets released into the atmosphere.  

The Ocean Acidification group told us about the bodies of water collecting CO2, which in turns makes the water acidic and the fish unsafe for human consumption.

They also told us about the clams that feed off atoms in the water that the CO2 is destroying, which ends up off-setting the marine food chain.  This part alone would make a little over a billion people hungry.

The greenhouse group taught us about the greenhouse effect.  Through the greenhouse effect, the CO2 in the atmosphere will warm the earth, which will kill plants and animals that are unable to adapt to the warmer climate.

As proof of this, temperatures and CO2 levels are much higher than they have ever been in the past 400,000 years.  This is shown in Ice Cores, where the age of the ice can be told from the depth, the CO2 levels are apparent from the bubbles in the ice, and the temperature directly effects the amount of ice that is formed.

In this chart, we see Economical factors from the article "How America's Favorite Baby-Goat Club is Helping Big Ag Take Over Farming in Africa"
A club called 4-H which encourages children to farm, takes off in Africa. The club uses a seed called the "Pioneer Seed", a seed from Dupont Pioneer, a supplier of genetically modified seeds.
The corn grown from these seeds are much better and sell better than the seeds that the African farmers used before.
The children return to their parents from the 4-H club and tell them about the Pioneer seed. The club gives each family some of the seed. It grows amazingly, and farmers want more and more of the seed.
Unfortunately, the seed is extremely costly and only 6 out of 50 farmers who wish to buy it, can actually afford it. This creates a problem. People want to buy the seed so that they can create profit, but none of the farmers can actually afford it.
