INTRODUCTION:
Global Warming or Climate Change is the measurable increase in
the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and
landmasses. Scientists believe Earth is currently facing a period of rapid
warming brought on by rising levels of heat-trapping gases, known as
greenhouse gases, in the atmosphere.
