Our good friends at The Dept for Energy and Climate Change have created a free online tool called The Global Calculator .
The idea is to play around with a load of different variables (population, energy use, travel habits, consumption levels, etc) and see if you can create a 'pathway' for humanity to follow which is both achievable and keeps temperatures below a 2oC increase.
Its really hard to create a scenario where I can live in a big house enjoying round the clock central heating while tucking into a juicy Argentinian steak.
The future sucks!
But seriously, have a go, and see if you can find a more appealing future than the 20 or so other models on offer...
