iPod Supercomputer to Make Climate Science Energy-Efficient

iPod Supercomputer to Make Climate Science Energy-Efficient

Three researchers at the DOE Berkeley Lab have gotten techie attention because they found a way to build the world's most accurate and efficient climate prediction supercomputer by using the same microprocessor technology of the iPod.

But there's something more fascinating about why the research was needed in the first place.

The super machines used to predict climate change today are the Hummers of the computer world.

Survey: Climate Scientists Agree on Global Warming, Mistrust of Media

Survey: Climate Scientists Agree on Global Warming, Mistrust of Media

The results of the Statistical Assessment Service’s (STATS) survey of 489 climate scientists were just announced.

And they highlight the triumph of scientific reason over climate denialism.

Again.

Has Earth's "Tipping Point" Arrived?

Has Earth's "Tipping Point" Arrived?

Nine of Earth's ecological systems are in danger of being "tipped" into irreversible, dangerous states -- beyond the point of repair. Obvious, to some. But what's staggering is just how quickly it could happen.

That's the latest finding from a prestigious group of climate scientists. It grabbed the attention of the mainstream media. And it could redefine the climate threat.
