Climate challenge: how I destroyed the economy

climate

I had a go at the BBC's Climate Challenge game, and I balanced responsibility for climate change, economic growth and electoral success... until near the end of the game, when I got worried I might lose the election and I cut taxes all over the place.

My result is pictured above. I seem to have saved the earth but I have changed us into 1920s Germany. Can you do better?

I managed to destroy the economy, be horribly unpopular and be booted out of office.

I reduced carbon emissions to nearly zero though, so the starving downtrodden masses can be happy with that.

I got voted out too. I think I'd make a much better totalitarian dictator.
