Computer models help scientists make sense of complex climate | The Courier-Journal | courier-journal.com
Computer models show Kentucky and Indiana by 2100 might be about 10 degrees warmer, assuming nothing is done to slow the burning of fossil fuels and other human causes of climate change, a NASA climate scientist told a Bellarmine University audience on Saturday.
Northern regions of the globe would warm even more, said Gavin Schmidt, the keynote speaker at a day-long climate science symposium hosted by Bellarmine University’s Center for Regional Environmental Studies.
“That would be a whole ’nother world,” Schmidt said. “That’s a very, very large change.”

More than 100 people attended the symposium, which funded by a grant from NASA.
