...Over Indianapolis last week, that shortcoming led to disaster. An Air Force pilot, Major Bruce Teagarden, 35, was on a routine flight when his engine went dead at 30,000 ft. Gliding down to Indianapolis Airport through a low cloud cover, Teagarden came in too high to land. Unable to circle to another runway, he tried to steer the plane toward an open field. After dropping below 800 ft., he parachuted to safety...

...surprisingly, the earliest models in the 1960s were hopelessly simplistic. The earth's surface was often reduced to one continent with one ocean, fixed cloud cover and no seasons. But as computing power grew, so did the complexity of climate modeling. Continents were added. So were mountain ranges, deeper oceans and surface reflectivity...
...Clouds, which shade about half the earth's surface at any given time, are another important climatic factor. Says James Coakley of the National Center for Atmospheric Research: "If you heat up the atmosphere and pump more water in, clouds will change. But how? We don't know." Water vapor, for example, is yet another greenhouse gas, but the white-gray surfaces of clouds reflect solar energy. Which effect predominates? Answer: it depends on the cloud. The bright, low-level stratocumulus clouds reflect 60% of incoming solar rays. But long, thin monsoon clouds let solar heat in while preventing infrared...
