Climate change is one of the emerging issues for global environment. It may be defined as the long-term change in average weather conditions‚ including temperature‚ precipitation and wind. This is already apparent as evidenced by higher temperatures‚ rising sea levels‚ increased ocean acidity and ice melt.
