Global warming and climate change: Impacts and implications in Nigeria

Within the last two decades, Global Warming and Climate Change has been one of the most important discussed topics in many scientific colloquia and workshops. As the topic connotes it is a world-wide phenomenon in which the Earth’s surface is gradually being heated up due to some natural and man-made actions. The gradual temperature rise that ensued warms up the earth and causes vital climatic variations across the globe. This paper reviews the climatic changes and conditions with their impacts and implications in Nigeria. Possible remedies as panaceas to minimize further warming have been suggested.
