Global Warming is a recently developed terminology used for indicating the Combined impact of climatic changes, extremity of temperatures, atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, rising trends of natural disasters. The green house gases are accumulating in the atmosphere due to wasteful and luxurious lifestyle o. f human beings. In the broad perspective global warming refers to increase in average temperature of the earth in close vicinity of near surface air and ocean in recent decades and its projected continuation caused by steadily thickening blanket of human induced green house gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases used in refrigeration and semi-air conditioner anufacturing. In the present conditions, combating climate change is the greatest Challenge of human history.
