How Far Can Planetary Simulations Get Before Reality Outpaces Code?

This episode dives into Earth‑system climate models—exploring how General Circulation Models, high‑performance computing, and machine‑learning surrogates strive to capture atmospheric, oceanic, and biogeochemical dynamics. It also looks at the limits of resolution, parameterizations, validation against observations, and policy relevance while asking whether a computational reconstruction can truly become an ontological reality or remains a sophisticated mimicry.
