climateprediction.net - Simulating climate change on your computer


http://climateprediction.net/ is a cool experiment akin to the Seti@home project. Making use of the processor of all of its member's computers when they are not being used to their full capacity, simulation models of climate change are run and analysed.

Hopefully this experiment (with the help of many people) will be able to allow us to model how global warming will affect the planet in the future.

Seems like a very worthwhile project and the success seen in the amount of data digested by Seti@home shows that, with similar subscription, could produce some really interesting results.
