BBC climate change experiment
Climateprediction.net teamed up with the BBC to launch the BBC Climate Change Experiment as part of the BBC 'Climate Chaos' season of programmes. Over 250,000 people took part in what was the largest climate forecasting experiment in the world.
Participants were asked to download a 160-year experiment, from 1920 to 2080, forming a massive ensemble forecast taking into account the effect of greenhouse gas emissions, solar output and volcanic eruptions, as well as variations in the approximations that have to be made in state-of-the-art climate models. This has allowed us to explore how climate may change in the next century under a wide range of different scenarios.
