The modification of Earth's climate periodically as a result of changes in the atmosphere as well as chemical interactions, biological and geologic interactions and geographical factors in the earth system is known as Climate Change. The greenhouse emission of gases like methane and carbon dioxide contribute significantly to recent changes in the climate.

Human activities alters the Earth's radiation cycle which then lead to global warming. Evidence of impacts of climate changes are global temperature rising, decrease in Arctic sea ice and changes in pattern of weather.

Talk about the effect of climate change in Agriculture.

Agriculture depends solely on weather and climate. It's dependability also includes land water and other natural resources affected by climate. Factors like temperature precipitation and frost timing (climate changes) could lengthen growing season or it could make some regions to grow crops, it will as well make agricultural practices difficult.

Agriculture is one of the most important sector of any countries economy. The livestock, seafood, crops being produced contributes a lot of amounts to the economic growth. Agriculture and fishery depends highly on climate. When there's increase in carbon dioxide and temperature, the crop yields as a result of nutrients level, water availability and soil moisture also.
