Abstract
A short review is presented of progress in climate change scenario dev elopment. Sources of uncertainty are discussed. Critical assessment of climate models for their veracity in describing the present climate i s considered essential. Methods of deriving sub-continental scale patt erns of climate change, per degree of global warming, include the use of finer resolution global models, nested modelling, and spatial inter polation. Transient effects and the importance of extreme events are a lso discussed.
