The Accuracy of Climate
Data in Predicting Climate Change
INTRODUCTION: Scientists all over the world are becoming increasingly
concerned with the environmental effects of climate change. Both natural
events such as volcanic activity and ocean current change as well as human
activities of burning fossil fuels contribute to climate change. In order to
analyze the climate change, we must first prove that the information from
climate computer models correlates to what is actually happening in the
atmosphere. Computer models, based on mathematical and physical laws, are
used to predict climate change. Scientists have confidence in these models
because they are based on fundamental principles along with the knowledge of
the atmosphere and its constantly changing qualities including the effects
of human activities. But the key question is, even with the sophistication
of computer models, can we accurately predict the current conditions of the
atmosphere and make a valid and honest assessment of the world’s climate
change? The following questions were addressed in this study:
