Abstract

The conclusion is made that present-day climate appears to have changed as a result of man's inadvertent impact and this change may be considerably increased in the nearest decades. The article considers a possibility of using the numerical models of climatic theory to study future climatic changes under the conditions of increasing influence on climate of man's economic activity.
