And we check what the climate models give us against data from the real world.

How much can we really trust climate models to tell us about the future?

Recently, a second meaning has come into use, namely global climate model.

In February 2006, the project moved on to more realistic climate models.

She spent 6 years as manager of atmospheric climate model development and evaluation.

"Of course, scientists don't have climate models to predict more than 100 years in the future," she said.

In both cases, new climate model simulations show that the effects would last for more than a decade.

It's not accurate to say that climate models are statistical.

For example, in a climate model the statistics may be simplified by having 12 months of 30 days.

Q. How does a person use a climate model to predict his own survival?

It's not a climate model that projects likely changes into the future, so it doesn't do any forecasting.

That's mainly interesting because it had been predicted by many climate models.

His research has mainly involved using climate models to study past, present, and future climates.

The result comes from incorporating a number of different assumptions into existing climate models.

Results were similar in experiments with both climate models.

That feedback loop is well understood and part of climate models, but others aren't.

A research study predicted this by using the patterns and characteristics of 23 global climate models.

Hansen has continued the development and diagnostics of climate models.

Understanding the chemical processes in the atmosphere is the basis of many climate models.

Sorting out exactly what would happen will apparently require a more complete climate model for the red planet.

How long do we have anyway - are there any climate models that include all the tipping point factors?

This sounds like a projection from a climate model.

This effect is accounted for in many climate models.

Other climate models may show different results, especially regarding estimated changes in precipitation.

Hansen said that he had to speak out, since few others could explain the links between politics and the climate models.
