Emerging Science of Climate Change September 17, 2009

Over the last few decades, scientists have been amassing data demonstrating that the Earth's surface temperature is rising at an alarming rate. As the science of climate change advances, researchers are developing increasingly sophisticated technologies to predict how the Earth's climate might evolve in the future. Join Jay Gulledge, senior scientist at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change and nonresident senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security; and Michael Winton, oceanographer at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, as they discuss today's powerful new climate modeling technologies and predictions of climate change over the next two centuries.
