Climate models are basically toy planets that you put on a computer. They help us see, they help us to experiment on experiments that we can't do on the real planet. So i it's kind of like playing the sims all day, but with mathan and physics,. Because you have this toy planet, and you can do experiments on it, and that teachs you something about how the real world works society. If we could do as thanos suggested, killing half of the humans, would that stop or slow down climate change? And yes, i was inspired by doctor marvell's last name to ask this question.
What can the climate on Venus tell us about Earth? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice answer questions about climate modeling, the state of climate change, and future predictions with climate scientist, Kate Marvel.
