Predicting our future: climate crystal balls
What's the best way to study something the size of a planet? For climate scientists, this is an everyday problem. They use powerful computers to make mathematical models that describe how all the climate's parts work together.

Models like these are unravelling the mysteries of our climate's past, and showing how our actions today could affect the world of our grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
