Abstract
Global climate change has a great influence on rain and heat distribution in Asia, causing more severe droughts and floods, soil degradation as well as salt water intrusion and other marine disasters caused by sea-level rising(IPCC, 2007). Because most countries of the Asia distribution of precipitation changed and temperature rose, a substantial decline would occur in agricultural productivity.
