One of the most basic meteorological factors isn’t handled by climate models – and they run off in a “hockey stick” style. From the UNIVERSITY OF LINCOLN Climate models fail to simulate recent air-pressure changes over Greenland Climatologists may be unable to accurately predict regional climate change over the North Atlantic because computer model simulations have…
