Abstract

The increase in Green House Gases has increased the atmospheric temperature which in turn is causing changes in the regular pattern of climate. The change in climate is also effecting the availability of water and other related resources. The increase in severity and frequency of extreme events, early onset of seasonal changes, increase in average atmospheric temperature etc shows that regular pattern of climate has been effected. The climate models are developed to predict the future climatic parameters so that early preparation of mitigation measures can be adopted.
