Climate & Environment
Climate science is what you get when climate scientists have collected, collated and analysed massive amounts of data from around the globe (and beyond), then combined that data with other scientists data, our existing knowledge about processes on our planet, then applied rigorous scientific thinking mixed in with extensive data modelling programs. Then, after thousands of cups of coffee, late night pizzas and a fruitless foray into Angry Birds….theories, conclusions and predictions are produced.
