The research method involved analyzing historical climate data from 1900 to 2000 and using a combination of emissions scenarios, global climate model experiments, and a simple climate model to construct future climate change scenarios for Africa from 2000 to 2100. The study also examined the representation of El Niño climate variability and land cover changes in the models.

The research examines climate change in Africa from 1900 to 2100, analyzing historical data and future scenarios. It explores regional climate variability, the impact of greenhouse gases, and limitations in climate modeling, particularly regarding rainfall predictions and the representation of El Niño effects and land cover changes in models. The study presents four climate futures for Africa, highlighting the uncertainties in predicting regional climate changes and the importance of adaptation to current climate variability.
