Error in climate prediction model discovered
A "major error" has been discovered in the world's biggest online climate prediction project, backed by the BBC. See the BBC story for details.
Error has been fixed
According to the BBC the error has now been fixed. However, some participants will need to start their model over at 1920. I think this is good news for distributed projects in the long run, because it shows that mistakes can be spotted which might not be spotted in a closed experiment.
Updated story.
