The repeated claim that climate science is “settled” overlooks myriad uncertainties, competing mechanisms and computer models ...

Models, by definition, are approximations: useful, informative, and inevitably incomplete, because they are the only way to ...

Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving ...

Climate models are complex, just like the world they mirror. They simultaneously simulate the interacting, chaotic flow of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, and they run on the world’s largest ...

Accurately predicting regional climate—especially the East Asian summer monsoon—remains one of the toughest challenges in climate science today. While recent generations of global models, like those ...

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, ...

Over the past 60 years, scientists have largely succeeded in building a computer model of Earth to see what the future holds. One of the most ambitious projects humankind has ever undertaken has now ...

Tiny marine plankton that build calcium carbonate shells play an outsized role in regulating Earth’s climate, quietly pulling carbon from the atmosphere and helping lock it away in the deep ocean. New ...

Climate change is already shaping our well-being. It affects mental health, spreads infectious diseases, disrupts work, damages food supplies and forces families to leave their homes because of ...
