Early climate models from the 1960s predicted global warming with surprising accuracy, researchers say.

In the 1960s, climate scientists began developing models to understand the effects of greenhouse gases on Earth’s temperature. These early simulations, while simpler than today’s versions, successfully anticipated key aspects of global warming by incorporating fundamental atmospheric physics and carbon emissions. Their predictions have proven remarkably accurate over time, highlighting the solid scientific basis established decades ago and the enduring relevance of these pioneering efforts in climate research.
