European scientists have started work on an ambitious plan to predict the future of climate change: rebuilding a virtual version of the entire Earth that they can use to play out different scenarios.

Imagine if scientists discovered a giant asteroid with a 72% chance of hitting the Earth in about 14 years — a space rock so big that it could not only take out a city but devastate a whole region.

When looking for potentially habitable planets, astronomers aim for what we know, Earth. They look for qualities like an orbit like ours, cruising peacefully in the middle of a nice Goldilocks zone — ...
