Abstract

The present chapter deals with the concept of climate change and its modelling. The change in climate and its impacts are now observed all over the World. Increase in extreme events, change in start of season etc depicts that climate is in a transitional mode. As an impact of climate change the quantity, quality of water along with security of food and quality of life is being hampered. There are various models to predict future climate so that the forthcoming disasters can be either avoided or effects from the same can be mitigated. The models like global and regional circulation models help users to predict globally and locally the future climatic parameters like rainfall and temperature. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Scenarios was developed so that the status of the word can be simulated based on the different scenarios like industrial, environmental and mixed.
