Saravanan R. (Texas A & M University) - The Climate Demon Past Present And Future Of Climate Prediction - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: 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.
