Abstract
The bulletin provides information on climate modelling, past climate patterns, how projections for the future are constructed, and how these can be used or misused. “Downscaling” is an effort to determine a local response to large scale-climate trends for a given location. Models tend to be better at capturing longer term and bigger picture climate change trends.
