Secure Planet - Model Foresees Carbonated Planet

Given the computing/programming horsepower at the two National Labs — Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos — you can appreciate what this means to the question of Global Warming...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory predicted a significant increase in average air temperature over the long term - iceless polar regions, 40 degrees Fahrenheit warmer, and a 20-foot rise in ocean sea levels by the year 2300.

A new study uses a series of interlinked computer models, including a LLNL model that connects carbon input with climate, an ocean-atmosphere model from National Center for Atmospheric Research, and the Parallel Ocean Program (POP) from Los Alamos National Laboratory that simulates ocean circulation.
