Abstract
This article discusses the phenomenon and mechanisms of climate change and the models used to study climate dynamics and predict future climate change. It describes past climate variations on the geological timescales reconstructed using paleoclimatological methods and a more recent climate change derived from observations. The article presents the scientific basis and the spectrum of existing climate models. An overview of modeling predictions of future climate change is given and principal uncertainties associated with climate predictions are discussed. A possible impact of future climate change on natural ecosystems, food production, and human health is also discussed.
