Is there any evidence that the climate is changing? -- 3. Naive meteorology, coincidences and correlations. 3.1. Approaching an analysis of the data and of common experience. 3.2. A naive interpretation and its problems. 3.3. Coincidences and correlations in available data. 3.4. Let us take stock of the situation -- 4. The theoretical framework: knowledge of single phenomena and complexity of the earth system. 4.1. How can we read the "Great Book of Nature"? 4.2. The local approach to the study of a system. 4.3. The interaction between radiation and matter and the greenhouse effect. 4.4. Greenhouse gases, clouds and aerosols. 4.5. Approaching a complete scheme of warming from the bottom. 4.6. Nature of the ground and air warming. 4.7. An outline of oceanic and atmospheric dynamics. 4.8. Feedbacks and complexity of system -- 5. The Galilean experimental method: a digression? 5.1. Aristotelian physics of local motions and the advent of Galileo Galilei. 5.2. The Galilean "style". 5.3. A Galilean method for studying the weather and the climate? -- 6. Simulation models. 6.1. How many meanings does the word "model" have? 6.2. The simulation approach. 6.3. Conceptual novelties in the simulation method and its use -- 7. Meteorological models. 7.1. The "perception" of the weather forecasting activity. 7.2. The heart of a meteorological model: primitive equations and their numerical solutions. 7.3. Physical parameterisations. 7.4. Determination of initial state and analysis procedure. 7.5. The products of a meteorological model 7.6. The emergence of deterministic chaos and ensemble integrations. 7.7. A few conceptual remarks -- 8. Climatic models. 8.1. From weather forecasting to climate forecasting: what changes? 8.2. The concept of "attractor" and climatic simulations. 8.3. Approaching the description of a coupled and highly interacting climate system. 8.4. Experiments for validation and sensitivity testing of a climatic model. 8.5. Evolutionary validation and climatic forecasts. 8.6. Simplified models and regional-scale models. 8.7. Simulation results. 8.8. Further remarks about climate change and its study -- 9. Conclusions and prospects. 9.1. The results of climatic models and "what should we do?" 9.2. The future of models for studying the weather and climate.
