How Scientists Predict Climate Scenarios – Enter the World of Climate Models
[ad_1] The climate of our planet is an extremely complex subject. Of course, the underlying principles are simple, but incorporating the interaction between all the different elements is a very difficult task. To assess the situation on a large scale, researchers often turn to what are called climate models. A climate model is a quantitative […]

How hot will it be this century? The latest climate models suggest it could be worse than we thought
Climatologists use mathematical models to project Earth’s future in a warming world, but a group of latest models included surprisingly high values for a measure called “climate sensitivity.” Climate sensitivity refers to the relationship between changes in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and warming. High values are a bad surprise. If they’re right, that means […]

A recent to study computer climate models dating back to the 1970s have shown them to be very accurate in relation to what actually happened over the following decades. This builds confidence in modern models that predict further changes in the future. In the 1970s, climatologists began to report the increasing amount of carbon dioxide […]
Even 50 years ago, climate models were far more accurate than deniers claim
It’s a common refrain from those who question the findings of climate science: the computer models scientists use to project future global warming are inaccurate and shouldn’t be trusted to help policymakers decide whether to they must take potentially costly measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions. A new study effectively quells this argument by examining […]
Climate models have understood global warming well
There’s a favorite argument among those who doubt mainstream climate science: climate models overestimate the rate at which the Earth is warming. This claim resurfaces time and time again and is often based on single instances of uncertainty or hand-picked data. Various studies have looked closely at individual climate models in recent years and have […]
