As we all know, greenhouse gas emissions generated by human activity will change Earth’s climate. The recent globally averaged warming by 0.5ºC is partly attributable to such anthropogenic emissions. Unfortunately, climate change may impact adverse affects on human health through a range of pathways[r]

For example, when thermal time models are used to predict plant flowering on the sequentialmodel, the plant chilling requirements must be calculated and satisfied before the growth-accumulated temperature of plants is calculated.
