Currently, fossil fuel burning worldwide alone account for
the release of about 6 million tons of carbon per year while
deforestation and land clearance account for another 1 billion
tones [6-13]. With respect to the contribution of individual
countries to the emission of greenhouse gases, United State
Environmental Protection Agency study estimated that in 1989 the
United States of America which contains only 5% of the world’s
population contributed the highest amount of 21%, followed by
the Soviet Union to the European Economic Community [14-16].
The culpable culprits in the depletion of the Ozone layer are CFCs,
CH4, N2O, CO2, a major cause of global warming the reduction in
the global ozone layer has been noticed over the past two decades
[17,18]. The contribution of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) to the
depletion of the ozone layer and the subsequent causing of climate
change is tremendous. On the other hand deforestation and the
clearing of vegetated surfaces for road construction, building of
houses, farming and timber logging have aided the phenomenon
of climate change. Deforestation is a factor of climate change as it
denies the earth's surface carbon exchange with the atmosphere,
