Abstract

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that contributes to the average temperature level on the earth surface with an atmosphere. Though only a small amount of the gases in Earth’s atmosphere are greenhouse gases, but they have a biggest effect on climate. During this century, the amount of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is expected to double. Other greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide are increasing as well. The quantity of greenhouse gases is increasing as fossil fuels are burned, releasing the gases and other air pollutants into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases also make their way to the atmosphere from other sources.

Global warming increase in greenhouse gases has become a major scientific issue during the last decade. That infrared radiation is trapped by greenhouse gases and particles in an atmosphere and that the atmospheric CO2 level has increased because of fossil fuel combustion and deforestation. Greenhouse gases such as methane and chlorofluorocarbons have increased by even larger factors. Due to the Global warming global average surface temperatures will increase by some 20C to 60C during the next century. Sea level rises of 0.5 to 1.5 meters are typically projected for the next century.

The beginning of the industrialization the use of fossil fuels and natural gas is increased. Deforestation also contributed to increasing green gas emissions. The industry releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, such as sulfur hexafluoride.It is now significantly increased the natural greenhouse effect. Climate change is one of the biggest issues facing countries around the world including India. The impacts of climate change increased in agriculture and it will be challenged to meet the global demand for food. About 1 billion people are currently malnourished and the number will grow as the world population is expected to approach 9 billion by 2050.
