Climate simulation models are becoming more accurate thanks to the work of nuclear weapons modellers in the US. Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used a supercomputer to create 100,000 years of climate simulations featuring a range of scenarios. Working with sea ice researcher Ivana Cvijanovic, the nuclear scientists were able to more accurately reflect the rates of sea ice loss, helping to provide evidence of the previously theorised link between polar retreats and droughts in California.
