If you go to climateprediction.net you can volunteer your computer's spare time to help run climate models. I found the site thanks to an article at NewScientist.com. The project, started in 2002, appears to have run the Hadley model 172,229 times (at the time I checked), apparently with minor changes in assumptions to check on the different outputs that result. Check here for the aggregated results of the first 27,000 runs. (I think--I didn't spend a whole lot of time on the site.)
This is exactly what I would expect to find if human knowledge is advancing rapidly and incorporating multi-disciplinary tools and knowledge to forge ahead. Hope I find a lot more like this.
