Abstract
Climate change has been considered a fact for over a decade, following the proof of rising CO2 levels, rising Earth’s temperatures, melting of glaciers, etc. The consequences can be observed in many regions in daily life, by events such as more frequent or stronger flooding of rivers, increased storms and snowfall, cloudbursts, as well as drought, and desertification. The reason for climate change, natural or anthropogenic, has been under discussion for a long time.
