Computing the Climate

How We Know What We Know About Climate Change

Beschreibung

This accessible, non-technical book reveals how, starting in the 1800s, scientists have used mathematical models and computer simulations to demonstrate that climate change is real â and accelerating. Readers will learn where the key scientific ideas came from, how they were tested, and what future these models forecast for our planet.
