      Hi rishi,

      Sadly £500 can’t buy me any models, as building and running the models I use costs millions of pounds. What I hope to do with the money is educate both kids and adults about the climate models used around the world, and explain what they do, how they work and what we can do with them.

      I’m worried that people are easily told by climate sceptics that climate models are all wrong, so they doubt climate change. I hope my idea for spending the money will tackle this problem and allow us to get people acting to combat climate change!
