Condition: New.

Condition: New.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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. Climate predictions - and the computer models behind them - play a key role in shaping public opinion on climate change. Providing an accessible introduction to the history, science, and philosophy of climate modeling, it is for anyone with an interest in climate change and a basic knowledge of science. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
