AbstractThe models which are used to estimate equilibrium and evolving changes in climate, due to increases in greenhouse gas concentrations, are described. Results from a 75‐year experiment with carbon dioxide increasing at 1%/annum using a coupled model of the atmosphere, land and deep ocean, are presented and compared with those from equilibrium experiments. Rainfall over the UK increases over the year as a whole, with the largest changes in winter; however, in summer it decreases except in the north. Soil moisture decreases except in winter. Results from an equilibrium experiment show that rainfall tends to be more intense but less frequent with a doubled atomospheric concentration of CO2. A scenario of climate change over western Europe is included, based on these and other experiments.

Climate change is one of the complex problems facing mankind today. This is evident from observations of increases in the global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and the rising global average sea level. It is projected to have significant impacts on conditions affecting agriculture, including temperature, precipitation and glacial run-off. Economic development at the cost of degradation of the environment will aggravate the problems of poverty, unemployment and disease. Existing legal mechanisms addressing mitigation, adaptation and remediation of climate change are failing to cope with the scale of the global issue and its wide ranging impact on individuals. This paper identifies what all the legal remedy is done to the people affected by climatic disasters and what are the preventive measures should be taken. This paper highlights the study in two ways how the climatic changes affects the person in social and economical status and what is the remedial measures taken by the government of India. And often an issue of climate change justice issues will be always left unaddressed. The environmental laws and act like the Endangered Species Act ("ESA"), the Clean Water Act ("CWA"), and the Clean Air Act ("CAA") where drafted mean that regulations intended to protect natural resources and promote conservation will it be applicable with these act to prevent climatic change is unanswered question. To achieve the original goals of these regulations will require a careful assessment of long-standing assumptions, as well as decisive action to change regulatory practices in ways that accommodate-, offset, and mitigate climate change.
