Atmospheric concentration of CO2 is steadily rising, and oceans directly assimilate CO2. As ocean concentration of CO2 increases, the oceans automatically become more acidic. This, in turn, may have [..]

Water is essential not only to survival but is also equally or even
more important than nutrients in food production. Agriculture accounts
for nearly 70% of the water consumption, with some [..]

If greenhouse gas concentrations keep rising, climatic changes are likely to result. Those changes will potentially have wide-ranging effects on the environment and socio-economic and related sectors, [..]
