Beschreibung
This accessible, non-technical book reveals how, starting in the 1800s, scientists have used mathematical models and computer simulations to demonstrate that climate change is real - and accelerating. Readers will learn where the key scientific ideas came from, how they were tested, and what future these models forecast for our planet.
