Abstract
Climate Change (CC) -any long-term significant change in the expected patterns of average weather over time. CC results from many factors including: dynamic processes of the earth itself, human activities. Mechanisms attributed to the recent CC are: increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, changes to land surface, such as deforestation, increasing atmospheric concentrations of aerosols. GHGs emissions now stand at 385 ppm, shot past the safe level of 350 ppm
