Climate Models
Climatologists use climate models to project (not predict) the many factors that influence
climate change
. Run through super-computers, climate models track hundreds of variables including ocean currents, jet stream circulation, average rainfall, vegetation patterns, soil moisture, presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, etc.
In order to gain more accuracy scientists are constantly adding new variables to these models, and also refining their statistical samples to smaller and smaller sizes.
