Global warming bring about climatic changes causes, changes in the livelihood of plants and animals, disturbance in agriculture and food production, melting of snow caps and increase in sea levels. Due to the greenhouse effect every year the temperature is rising. The factor responsible for this warming may be natural and man-made. Pollution causes the levels of greenhouse gases to rise up. This phenomenon is known as global warming. The increased volume of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture and other human activities are believed to be the primary sources of global warming that has occurred over the past 50 years. The earth has warmed by about one degree Fahrenheit in the last century and the warming has accelerated in the last two decades. Global Warming leads to extreme Weather changes and has reportedly contributed to more frequent incidences of weather changes such as hurricanes, droughts, tropical storms and floods .To reduce the effect of global warming, we can help to reduce the demand for fossil fuels, which in turn reduces global warming by using energy more wisely and we need to take other effective steps of international level to reduce the effect of global warming.The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In order to tackle this problem, removal of carbon – dioxide from power plant smokestacks, switching from fossil fuel combustion to biomass combustion, reforestation etc. Government of India as well as our Parliament is increasingly supportive of stringent environmental legislations and Regulations.
