The large uncertainties of climate models used in the IPCC reports might be reduced considerably by the use of statistical mechanics, TiPES study shows. A major challenge in climate prediction is the uncertainty on how we are going to deal … Continued
An analysis of the so-called climate spectrum shows why the ice ages have not behaved precisely as the models predict. A large element of coincidence is involved when an ice age begins or ends, the analysis shows. TiPES scientist, Peter … Continued
Grains of dust illustrate how fast a landscape is covered with ice after an ice age sets in. The shift from a relatively warm interglacial to proper ice age is a typical tipping point in the climate system. The climate … Continued
