Today, my research focused on the methodology for scientist’s predictions for global warming and the tactics they use to find potential warming scenarios. I began looking at examples of different methods, such as mathematical and climate models, and read about why scientists use a combination of many methods in order to come up with the most accurate predictions. It is difficult to come up with global warming scenarios because of the room for error in the prediction models, however, scientists are working towards finding the most accurate prediction methods and have decreased the amount of error on them. Below is an example of a climate model explained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
