The Greeks went to the oracle at Delphi. The Romans looked into the entrails of slaughtered chickens. But our society has a different way of foretelling the future: the climate model.

For the past 20 years, scientists around the world have been using huge mathematical models of Earth's climate system, run on computers, to predict the coming course of one of the gravest threats the planet has known: global warming.

Now British researchers have built the biggest such model. It is so ambitious it may be able to warn of "surprises" - sudden, potentially disastrous leaps in climate change which have not so far been predicted but which could overwhelm any defensive preparations for global warming.

And I'm sure everybody is going to see the results... I bet George and his friends will have first crack at the vintage real estate!!!

I think everybody should see these results!!!
