A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming (Infrastructures)

Paul N. Edwards

4.9/5 (34091 ratings)

Description:Global warming skeptics often fall back on the argument that the scientific case for global warming is all model predictions, nothing but simulation; they warn us that we need to wait for real data, "sound science." In "A Vast Machine" Paul Edwards has news for these skeptics: without models, there are no data. Today, no collection of signals or observations -- even from satellites, which can "see" the whole planet with a single instrument -- becomes global in time and space without passing through a series of data models. Everything we know about the world's climate we know through models. Edwards offers an engaging and innovative history of how scientists learned to understand the atmosphere -- to measure it, trace its past, and model its future.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
