ギャビン・シュミット: 気候変動によって出現する異常な気象パターン

気候変動によって出現する異常な気象パターン

気候科学者のギャビン・シュミットは「気候変動は個々の物理現象に細分化するだけでは理解できない。全体を理解しなければ何も理解できない」と言います。この啓蒙的な話の中で、小規模な環境的事象が絶え間なく起こす複雑な相互作用をシュミレートできる素晴らしいモデルを使って、気候変動の全体像をどのように研究しているのか説明します。

Understanding climate change requires seeing the planet as a single, interconnected system, not a collection of isolated parts. Patterns in climate stretch across 14 orders of magnitude, from tiny cloud seeds to the scale of the Earth itself. Modern climate models, built from millions of lines of code, capture how countless small processes combine to create vast, unexpected patterns—like swirling storms and shifting winds—that no one piece can explain alone. These models have skillfully matched past events, but using their predictions demands human choices about our collective future.
