Abstract
It is now well known that climate is changing worldwide. The past two decades have witnessed globally a rapid increase in the awareness of climatic change and triggered widespread apprehension amongst scientists and governments about its global implications (Gadgil, 1996; Malone and Brenkert, 2008; Baer and Risbey, 2009). These climatic changes are the result of changes in atmospheric gaseous constituents, vegetation/crop cover and biodiversity (Fig. 1).
