Supercomputers, he said, can be used to show the world how climate change is affecting the earth in human terms. The visualization capabilities of supercomputers can produce a visceral reaction to the potential for catastrophe. “Supercomputing has given us the most powerful tool in the history of civilization,” said Gore.
