Improved Climate Models Show Lower End Warming Estimates Likely Wrong
One of the most difficult problems in climate modelling is simulating cloud processes, but new research under embargo until this morning indicates that the problem may be on the way to being solved. Unfortunately, when clouds are simulated better, the models seem to rule out the lower end warming estimates of some earlier (less sophisticated) numerical forecasts. The press release from NATURE is below: Global average temperatures will rise at …
