Scientists have used computer models to predict global warming's implications for more than five decades. As climate change intensifies, these increasingly precise models require more and more computing power. For a decade the best simulations have been able to predict climate change effects down to a 25-square-kilometer area.

A suite of clean energy bills that passed the Michigan legislature last week aims to move the state to 100% clean energy by 2040. It includes provisions allowing "incinerator" facilities to count toward local clean energy goals until 2040, setting the waste management strategy up as an interim measure. SB271, part of a package of five bills approved by the legislature, also counts landfill-gas-to-energy and "methane digester" facilities as clean energy, but it excludes fuels made frompost-use polymers, tires, tire-derived fuel and plastic, among other fossil fuels.
