Understanding Climate Modeling

The video discusses the emergence of extreme weather events and the breaking of long-standing records, attributing these changes to global warming caused by increased atmospheric CO2. It highlights the challenges in predicting future scenarios due to rising CO2 levels. The UK's Met Office is refining climate models to better understand these scenarios, using complex mathematical constructions that require supercomputers. Despite advancements, the current computing power is insufficient, leading to collaboration with Japanese scientists to enhance the model's resolution.
