Climate predictions - and the computer models behind them - play a
key role in shaping public opinion and our response to the climate
crisis. Some people interpret these predictions as 'prophecies of
doom' and some others dismiss them as mere speculation, but the
vast majority are only vaguely aware of the science behind them.
This book gives a balanced view of the strengths and limitations of
climate modeling. It covers historical developments, current
challenges, and future trends in the field. The accessible
discussion of climate modeling only requires a basic knowledge of
science. Uncertainties in climate predictions and their
implications for assessing climate risk are analyzed, as are the
computational challenges faced by future models. The book concludes
by highlighting the dangers of climate 'doomism', while also making
clear the value of predictive models, and the severe and very real
risks posed by anthropogenic climate change.
