Introduction

According to Ayoade (2006), climate is the mean state of the atmosphere of an area over a defined period of 30 years, while climate change as defined by Anon (2009) is long-term significant environmental changes in the average weather that a given region experiences.

Average weather includes temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity, evaporation, pressure, and solar radiation. It involves changes in the variability or average state of the atmosphere over durations ranging from decades to millions of years.

These environmental changes include higher temperatures and altered precipitation patterns, increased frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods and storms.

These have short and long term socio-economic and political consequences including food insecurity, migration, conflicts over resources, damage to farms and increased spread of endemic water and vector- borne diseases ( Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, (IPCC. 2007).
