💬 Message to Learners

{'encouragement': "You're learning about the most sophisticated tools humanity has built to understand our planet. Climate models represent decades of scientific progress.", 'reminder': "Climate models aren't crystal balls - they show possible futures based on different choices. The future we get depends on actions we take now.", 'action': 'Run different scenarios in the simulator. See how emissions choices affect warming. Understand why scientists are concerned about tipping points.', 'dream': 'A climate scientist from Kenya might improve how models represent tropical systems. A programmer from India might optimize algorithms for efficiency. Climate science needs global talent.', 'wiaVision': 'WIA Pin Code believes everyone should understand the science behind climate predictions. An informed global citizenry can make better choices for our shared future.'}
