مستخلص: Since the Earth itself is not available for experimentation, climate science relies on mathematical models to make up its ‘laboratory’. Despite this, the (applied) mathematical community has not seriously engaged itself in climate research. I argue that the urgency of addressing climate change will change this over the coming decade and suggest some ways that mathematics might evolve in response. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
