Climate models are the main tool scientists use to assess how much the Earths temperature will change given an increase in fossil fuel pollutants in the atmosphere. As a climate scientist, Ive used them in all my research projects, including one predicting a change in Southwestern US precipitation patterns.

Climate models are the main tool climate scientists use to predict how Earth will respond to more heat-trapping pollutants in the atmosphere. But what exactly is a climate model? Lets start off easy by breaking down the phrase climate model.” What causes a circulation? temperature, rainfall, etc.)

Research with climate models in recent years shows that when carbon dioxide emissions stop, the rise in atmospheric temperatures will likely also stop. The oceans absorb much of the carbon dioxide lingering in the atmosphere, which contributes to ocean acidification. 2C above the preindustrial average.

The good news is that there are some initiatives on climate change adaptation which involve climate scientists such as the Infrastructure and Climate Network ( ICNet Global ). Such professional debates should include climate scientists, the adaptation community, and prac titioners.

are used all over the world, based on calculations that quantify the effects of physical mechanisms and the way different parts of the atmosphere are connected to each other. The physics-based models describe how energy flows through the atmosphere and ocean, as well as how the forces from different air masses push against each other.

.; it represents a new and growing movement to assert and enforce future generations’ right to a habitable planet; and it allowed me to observe firsthand — and assist on — cutting-edge climate litigation. As a young person and a UCLA Law student, the importance of the Held trial is not lost on me. Download as PDF

As I outlined here , Montana state law prohibits the consideration of greenhouse gas emissions or climate impacts–– inside and outside the state’s borders––when reviewing projects and approving permits. This now-infamous climate prohibition has been called a “limitation” on the Montana Environmental Policy Act, or MEPA.
