CBEY - CliMates: Climate Models 101: An introduction to how we know what we know about the future of our planet

If you enter the climate world, you’ll quickly come across someone or something talking about “climate models.” While you may think that climate models are kind of like weather predictions… they’re not.
This talk is a friendly intro — from a non-scientist with a good grasp of how they work — to what a climate model actually is, how scientists use them, and how they shape what we know about the planet’s future.
