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.”

The last IPCC report stated that climate-related litigation has influenced the outcome and ambition of climate governance. It also highlighted that outside the formal climate policy processes, climate litigation is an important arena for various actors to confront and interact over how climate change should be governed.

Moreover, climate scientists have a lot more data to work with. And so far, the models have been closely enough in accord with actual weather developments to give us some confident that—at least in conditions relatively like today’s– the modeling errors aren’t severe enough to dramatically change predictions.
