Computing the Climate tells the story of climate models, tracing their history from nineteenth-century calculations on the effects of greenhouse gases, to modern Earth system models that integrate the atmosphere, the oceans, and the land using the full resources of today’s most powerful supercomputers. Drawing on the author’s extensive visits to the world’s top climate research labs, this accessible, non-technical book shows how computer models help to build a more complete picture of Earth’s climate system. Computing the Climate is ideal for anyone who has wondered where the projections of future climate change come from – and why we should believe them.Praise for Computing the Climate:"This engaging, beautifully written book brings alive the scientists who created climate models, how they did it, and what the models can (and cannot) tell us - all in straightforward, nontechnical language and enlightening illustrations. If you want to understand how modern climate science works, start here."Paul N. Edwards - Stanford University, author of A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming
