A collection of gripping tales that display man kind's dramatic trials and will to survive when casted apart from the world we call our own. Told through the eyes of characters not much different from ourselves, we are witnessed to the survivors of a wrecked plane as they traverse through a hostile and unforgiving tundra in hopes of reclaiming touch with anything besides that of which is stalking their every move; a small group of soldiers, stripped and clinging to their last strengths are forced against the wall where a single command could mean their end; a married couple sit inside the remains of an upside down cab, buried deep within the snows of winter as something--not so human--tries to set them free, and not for their own wellbeing. These stories, among seven others portray life and our struggles to keep it from departing us. But when the ice gives, there is no knowing of how long we will truly have it.

This book demystifies the models we use to simulate present and future climates, allowing readers to better understand how to use climate model results. In order to predict the future trajectory of the Earth’s climate, climate-system simulation models are necessary. When and how do we trust climate model predictions? The book offers a framework for answering this question. It provides readers with a basic primer on climate and climate change, and offers non-technical explanations for how climate models are constructed, why they are uncertain, and what level of confidence we should place in them. It presents current results and the key uncertainties concerning them. Uncertainty is not a weakness but understanding uncertainty is a strength and a key part of using any model, including climate models. Case studies of how climate model output has been used and how it might be used in the future are provided. The ultimate goal of this book is to promote a better understanding of the structure and uncertainties of climate models among users, including scientists, engineers and policymakers.
