Climate change is a
change in the statistical distribution of weather over periods of time
that range
from decades to millions of years. It can be a change in the average weather or
a change in the distribution of weather events around an average (for example, greater
or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region,
or may occur across the whole Earth. In
recent usage, especially in the context
of environmental policy, climate change usually refers to changes in modern climate.
It may be qualified as anthropogenic climate change, more generally known as "global
warming" or "anthropogenic global warming" (AGW). And as one of our main targets
is to keep pace with global developments in issues related to Agriculture, Food,
Environment, and Veterinary. The Technical Consultancy Center has decided to organize
