Since 160 years ago‚ years of 2000 to 2010 was recorded as the world’s warmest decade. This is supported by Cavanagh (2004 as cited in Brown‚ 2001) that global warming will cause calamitous trouble created around the world. The major contributor to global warming is caused by a greenhouse effect due to massive carbon dioxide emission. According to Shelley (2002)‚ EPA has stated that the major contributor into the rising of greenhouse gases level is due to industrial and transportation activities
