Current Science: The role of anthropogenic activities on climate change has emerged as a much debated issue globally. Although the climate has always been changing, and species and ecosystems have responded to these changes, it is the rapidly increasing rate of climate change which has been

Studies on climate change have indicated that global average temperature has shown an increase of approximately 1.4°F since the early 20th century3.
