CLAM Bake!

Climate Learning and Modeling Development Environment

CLAM Bake is a complete Python programming environment that allows you to code and run simple climate computer programs.

Getting Started

Use the buttons to toggle between this page, the code editor, the console output, the interaction window and the graphics canvas.

Introduction to CLAM Bake

This development environment provides access to:

Editor — A place to enter Python programs.
Console — A place to view the output of programs.
Canvas — A place where graphics can be drawn.
Library — A place where multiple programs can be save or loaded.

Credits and Thanks

The core of CLAM Bake is Skulpt, the Python to Javascript translator developed by Scott Graham.

The editor, CodeMirror, was developed by Marijn Haverbeke.

Python itself is a robust high-level programming language created by its Benevolent Dictator for Life, Guido van Rossum.

Der Albedo-Effekt und die globale Erwärmung

Das Argument der Skeptiker...

Es liegt am Albedo

"Das Albedo der Erde hat in den letzten Jahren zugenommen und durch Rekonstruktionen des Albedo in der Vergangenheit, sieht es so aus, dass es eine bedeutende Verringerung des Albedos der Erde gab, bis zu einer Pause in 1997. Am interessantesten ist, dass die Albedo-Antriebe, gemessen in Watt/m², sehr hoch zu sein scheinen - höher, als alle durch Menschen verursachten Treibhausgase zusammengenommen." (Anthony Watts)
