Abstract
What the world is experiencing is clearly pointing to undesirable climatic changes with potential catastrophic consequences. This is evident from rising environmental temperatures associated 12-4with longer and deeper droughts, declining water resourcesin spite of increased overall rate of groundwater recharge in cold 56-7climates, predictable declining crop yieldsand complex 7-9variable crop responses. These changes are due to a complex phenomenon with diverse and widespread effects; global climate change.
