One of the major assumptions of the climate change is that the climate of the future will be dominated by increased extremities in weather. To come to such a conclusion we need to assess the present situation. It only after careful investigation that we can formulate future strategies to combat such changes that may be expected to occur and have negative impact on society. Present
