Global warming is a phenomenon that
results from the green house effect. This is the increase in global
temperature, which lead to global climate change, the global increased temperature
resulted from human, industry and other activities (such as deforestation) that
increased the carbonized level acting like blanket over the surface, keeping
the atmosphere warmer than it would otherwise be (Olorunda et al., 2007). Newton (2012) described global warming as increase
in global temperature, which in turn leads to global climate change. This
phenomenon is occasioned by green house effects. Consequences of global warming
include: threat to ecosystem, human life, water shortage, rising sea level etc.

Godwin (2010) stated that global
warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average
temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and its ocean, a change that be level to
the errantly changing the earth’s climate. The scientific consensus on climate
changes related to global warming in that the average temperature of the earth
has risen between 0.4 oC and 0.8 oC over the past 100
years. The increased volumes of carbon-dioxide and other green house gases
released by the burning of fossil fuel, land clearing, agriculture and other
human activities are believed to be the primary sources of the global warming
that has occurred over the past 50 years. I.P.C.C recently predicted that
average global temperatures could increase between 1.4oC and 5.8oC by the year 2100, change resulting from global
warming may include rising sea levels to melting of the polar ice caps, as well
as increase in occurrence and severity of storms and other weather events.
