Model Assumptions 9

• What are some of the key assumptions underlying the En-ROADS Baseline scenario?
• Does En-ROADS include climate “tipping points” such as large-scale methane release from permafrost?
• What is the background and meaning of your 'Business as Usual' Scenario?
• Why does the temperature in the En-ROADS Business as Usual scenario go up so high?
• Some have said that a better Business as Usual (BAU) scenario is the SSP1 baseline or SSP4-6.0, which lead to about 3.0°C by 2100. Why is the temperature in the En-ROADS BAU scenario so much higher?
