The home page offers users a very high level overview of the kinds of issues important to the climate change debate, and links to the major functional pieces of the system.
Proposed new text for home page:
"The Climate Collaboratorium allows large groups of people to work together in developing plans to address climate change.
Users generate plans by:
•Selecting sets of actions and setting out their rationale for them, and
•Selecting simulation models that project the physical and economic impacts of those actions.
Users can view existing plans, comment on them, and vote for the ones they find promising.
Users can also take part in debates about actions for which similation models are not yet available.
Your ideas matter! Anyone from experts to policy makers to concerned citizens can add their perspective. Even the smallest contribution can play a part in creating a solution to this pressing problem. For more on how the system works, see About the Collaboratorium."
