The aim of the paper is to summarise international and Hungarian findings on climate change and to point to areas of uncertainty in climate research. The author gives an overview of climate changes in the Holocene as global changes without
the presence of humans in order to find the answer to one of the fundamental question: does climate change natural or anthropogenic causes ? - (AM)

Eustasy can no longer be defined as world wide simultaneous changes in sea level, but must be redefined as ocean level changes or any absolute sea level changes regardless of causation and including both the vertical and horizontal changes
of the geoid surface as well as changes of the dynamic sea surface topography. In the field, only relative sea level changes can be observed (Author).

Within global change literature, the phrase winners and losers is widely and rather loosely used. This concept is explored in the context of two aspects of global change : economic globalization and climate change. Winners and losers are natural

Two appraisals of the consequences of climate change for Polish agriculture consider 4 possible scenarios based on GISS and GFDL models. The National Study of Climate Change considers that changes will affect about 60% of the country
and that their consequences will be relatively great due to changes of the water balance in soils. Possible impacts of global climate change on the occurrence distribution and economic significance of the pests, pathogens and weeds on various continents and in Poland
L'évaluation de la vulnérabilité des systèmes agricoles se doit de considérer non seulement l'exposition aux changements et aux stresseurs, tels la sècheresse et la mondialisation, mais également la capacité des exploitations agricoles d'y faire
face et si nécessaire de s'y adapter, en tenant compte des facteurs de changement social.

This article summarizes the theory of climate change and the relationship of climate-change forcing to hydrologic and aquifer processes. It focuses on regional aquifer systems and on the methods to link large-scale climate-change processes to ground
-water recharge and to simulate ground-water flow and solute transport in a warmer, 2xCO2 climate. In addition, it outlines the development of a methodology to quantify the effects of climate change and of changes in ground-water use by population growth

Thoughts on the areal change of dress and influential effects
This paper presents an analysis on areal change of dress, particularly the locational change and spatial propagation. It also tries to give a study of the main factors affecting the areal change of dress.
