Abstract Climate Change is a global problem that is creating regional impacts to food security. Climate studies require the analysis of vast pools of data that are more easily processed by filtering down to the micro-climates or sub-climates of particular regions. Many studies have been completed utilizing global climate observations in an attempt to model changes to regional food production zones. Private organizations or government grant making groups with an interest in how climate change

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Water is perhaps the single most important substance on earth. It forms the basis for life . Organisms, including man, can only survive if there is an adequate supply of water available. Although 98% of the earth’s water is sea water, humans are most concerned with the remaining 2% of fresh water that supports life on earth. In the last several hundred years’ man has increasingly impacted on both the distribution and the quality of fresh water. Peters Bricker Kennedy (1996)

Attention has begun to shift from local, short-term seasonal patterns of temperature, rainfall, other elements of the weather, toward longer-term trends that can affect the entire Earth, se long-term (typically 30-year) weather trends are called "climate." It is therefore important understand the difference, as well as the relation, between "weather" and "climate." An example of the relationship between weather and climate is El Nino, which is weather with local, short-term consequences as well

Holmgren et al. (2012) analyzes the energy balance of a commercial-scale methanol process featuring a biomass gasification system. Albeit trees and some microbes can capture CO₂ and converted it into more involute chemicals, humans have struggled to reproduce the process on an immensely colossal scale. Most chemical reactions involving CO₂ require sumptuous catalysts, high temperatures, or high pressures to react. The most mundane utilization of CO₂ as a chemical feedstock is in the formation of

have already put a lot of effort on combating the problems, still the situation cannot be fully recovered. There appears to be growing consensus among climatic scientists worldwide about the seriousness of potential risks posed by global warming (IPCC, 2001; Arctic Impact Assessment, 2004). Some hold this belief so passionately that they go to great depth to alert the public. Both the public and government show up the best support to the scenario. Greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which

Climate Change and the IPCC o What is the IPCC? - Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change, created in 1988, first assessment report in 1990 launched global awareness of climate change issue. How the IPCC works - Thousands of scientists contribute to writing and reviewing reports. Does not carry out new research or monitor climate related data. There are 3 working groups and a special tasks force. Terminology – 99%-100% (Virtually Certain) 90%-100% (Very Likely) 66%-100

Climate change has been identified as the leading human and environmental crises of the 21st century (Tadesse, 2010). Globally, it adversely affects livelihood activities through the occurrence of diverse extreme events such as floods, cyclones, droughts, and unpredictable rainfall patterns (Urama & Ozor, 2010). Changes in temperature and rainfall patterns affect agriculture, especially in tropical regions. Consequently, rain-fed agriculture is seriously threatened resulting in imminent global food
