Understanding the Complex: Climate Models — How Do We Know What Happens in 2100?
As of May 2026
Climate modeling involves a global network of research centers, each running their own models and contributing to shared assessment efforts. The people behind these models have careers, institutions, funding sources, and in some cases public positions that are worth knowing about. The money trail here is unusually clean — but that too is informative.
