About This Simulation
Use a climate model to investigate the effects of anthropogenic climate change on people and the environment. Why are scientists pushing to decrease global emissions? What will happen if we don’t? The fate of the world is in your hands!
Learning Objectives
- Explain what is meant by anthropogenic climate change
- Identify key human activities that contribute to climate change
- Describe the effects of global climate change on the environment, people, and their livelihoods

Learn More About This Simulation
Are humans affecting the Earth’s climate? In this simulation, you will learn the meaning of anthropogenic climate change and explore the causes and effects through a 3D climate model!
The causes of anthropogenic climate change
You will discover why scientists believe the global warming experienced in recent decades is deemed unnatural. Using an interactive wall display, you will learn about the key human activities which contribute to climate change. You will evaluate the benefits of these activities, as well as the environmental costs.
Investigate the impacts
Once you are familiar with the causes, you will then investigate the effects of climate change. Take control of our futuristic 3D climate model and use computational representation to illustrate the relationships among Earth systems. You will identify how relationships are being modified due to human activity starting from the pre-industrial era, and determine why scientists link particular human activities to climate change.
After this, the fate of the world is in your hands! Explore a greener world, a more industrial world, or both - It’s up to you! You will have the option to explore all outcomes and how they influence different subsystems.
Identify the effects on people and the environment
How does climate change affect biodiversity, sea levels, ocean acidification, and people? Finish off by analyzing the direct and indirect environmental effects explained via the climate model. What will happen if we do not decrease greenhouse emissions?

For Science Programs Providing a Learning Advantage
North Dakota State College of Science
“They did the simulation at home, then completed the in-person lab within 30 minutes, no questions asked, and passed the quiz with flying colors.”
Lecturer in Human Physiology
University of Westminster
"I saw some of the students who clearly didn’t necessarily like sitting there reading a book discover they could turn on Labster and keep up with the rest of the class because it spoke to them.
Modesto City Schools
"Having something that's engaging for the students gives teachers that opportunity to breathe and get excited again. Because they're seeing the kids light up, they're seeing the kids engage with content."
Wenatchee Valley College
"The question always is, ‘Can we demonstrate that the students are meeting course outcomes?’ Check! We can do that.”
San José State University
"We surveyed over 400 students. More than 90% thought Labster was easy to navigate, and that it was fun, but more importantly, most of them felt confident that they could execute the labs in person. And that confidence is a big deal."

Labster can be integrated within a school's LMS (Learning Management System), and students can access it like any other assignment in their LMS. If your Institution does not choose an LMS integration, students will log in to Labster's Course Manager once they have an account created. Your institution will decide the access method during the sales process.
Labster is only available for purchase by faculty and administration at academic institutions. To procure Labster, simply reach out to us on our website. Schedule a demo, book a meeting to discuss pricing, start a free trial, or simply fill out our contact form.
Labster simulations are created by real scientists and designed with unparalleled interactivity. Unlike point and click competitors, Labster simulations immerse students and encourage mastery through active learning.
Labster supports a wide range of courses at the high school and university level across fields in biology, chemistry and physics. Some simulations mimic lab procedures with high fidelity to train foundational skills, while others are meant to bring theory to life through interactive scenarios.
