Results suggested that although Bangladesh emitsless than 0.2% of the global carbon dioxide (CO2), it is nevertheless facing the impact of globalclimate change. Average air temperature was found to be increased @ 0.7øC per decade acrossBangladesh... , "[RT Watson] Global climate change is a qualitatively distinct, and very significant, addition to the spectrum of environmental health hazards encountered by humankind.
