Introduction Global warming threatens human survival in today's scenario; and has become an environmental challenge. The climate data shows the warming trend in many parts of the world, which has led to a wide range of climate effects such as reduced precipitation, drought, and the occurrence of extreme events. The increasing vulnerability of many...
