Climate Change, is one of the main tools for deal with climate change (Anderson, 1998). Its main goal is to control the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The main element which causes global climate change is rising of concentration of greenhouse gases on Earth. Since the industrial revolution, there has been a significant increase in the emission of greenhouse gases. Ahrens et al. (2012) stated that, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which consists of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous
