Figure Out How to Read the Output File

[ecwood]

I tried to convert the debug_db.xml file into JSON and it created a 16GB file. This is not sustainable, so I need to create some automated methods to get the data I need from that file. The comment here will provide some guidance.

Here is what temperature looks like: (cross reference with previously linked comment)

This could help with emissions output reading: http://jgcri.github.io/gcam-doc/outputs_emissions.html

[ecwood]

I wanted to note for myself that the purpose of #18 is to decrease the output file size so that I can process it on my laptop (ran into memory limitations with the last run).

[ecwood]

I need to know how to extract atmospheric CO2 from the output. (Slide 45 of http://www.globalchange.umd.edu/data/annual-meetings/2019/GCAM_Overview-PM_20191106.pdf)
