New US Supercomputer to study Climate Change

IBM has announced that the University of Colorado, in cooperation with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), has acquired a Blue Gene supercomputer to simulate the ocean, predict the weather and analyze other complex climate phenomena that may affect climate change and cause ripple effects in the global economy.

My take:
I hope that the U.S. won't use the supercomputer studies to justify that "predicting climate change is highly uncertain".

For example, the US has already used "climate change" instead of "climate warming".


Also, a flurry of recent CNN reports say "predicting climate change is highly uncertain".
