Abstract

Global climate change is a climate change that is caused globally by the release of fuels in the atmosphere. Fuels (gases) such as carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and lead compounds etc are into continuous release to atmosphere as a result of human activities, such human activities include modernilisation and industrialization which continuously reduces the number of green houses gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere and this consequently bring about the global climate change. As a result of its effect, numerous programs, seminars and awareness campaigns were carried out aimed at bringing about awareness to public on the causes effect and control of this global climate change. The use of biology education can equally be used as a tool for combating global climate change where human activities like poor agricultural practice, deforestation, industrialization etc. would be discussed as causes for the release of gases to the atmosphere. The effects like Carbon dioxide and green house effects, ozone depletion effect and acid rain effects would equally be discussed as possible consequences for global climate change. Then use of afforestation programme, good agricultural practices, use of predators like bats and lizards and plant conservation through botanic gardening would serve as solution to global climate change.
