Can we be confident with climate models? Authors Josep Enric Llebot Abstract Global warming, climate change, and greenhouse gases are terms familiar to the general public due to their frequent mention in the media, albeit often in an incorrect context. Current perceptions and misperceptions regarding these terms are discussed in the first part of this paper. This is followed by an explanation of how climate models work and the strengths and weaknesses of these models. The review concludes with a brief summary of several other important aspects of climate change science.
