The Mysteries of Climate Modeling Unveiled - with Eddie Robins

Everything you never realized you really wanted to know about how we know what we know about global warming!

Do you wish you could understand the factors behind climate change—and how they interact—but find it all overwhelming? You’re not alone. It’s an enormous challenge to pull together the vast array of interacting elements—from the subnuclear to the cosmic—that influence the climate. But for 40 years Eddie Robins has been rising to challenges like that: as a physicist, working to understand the nature of complex problems and build complex simulations. That thinking has led him to crucial breakthroughs and solutions in many different jobs in multiple industries and tech fields. And now he’s applying that thinking to the climate. At this meetup, he’ll explain some basic principles of modeling and climate science, with slides, and open it up to questions fairly quickly—because we’ll have lots of them. He’s an engaging story-teller, so this should be fun—and illuminating. Come stretch your mind!

Eddie Robins is an ace physicist, inventor, businessman and enthusiastic explorer of the universe - with a sense of humor!
