Mikey needs to quit reading "my pet dinosaur" and get back to his homework. Here's a climate modeling article for him. The physics of climate modeling Climate is a large-scale phenomenon that emerges from complicated interactions among small-scale physical systems. Yet despite the phenomenon's complexity, climate models have demonstrated some impressive successes. Gavin A. Schmidt 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo Climate projections made with sophisticated computer codes have informed the world's policymakers about the potential dangers of anthropogenic interference with Earth's climate system. Those codes purport to model a large part of the system. But what physics goes into the models, how are the models evaluated, and how reliable are they? physicstoday.org =============== He's got a lot of catching up to do.
