Due to increase in average global temperature the climate change and global warming is taking place. Human beings are known to be the main cause for increase in average global temperature but not only human beings but natural events are also responsible and one of the main cause of change in the climate. Carbon dioxide, Methane, Nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, these are the greenhouse gases, and when there is increase in these gases in the atmosphere then global warming take place.

There is so much concern now about the climate change because it has direct impact on health issues. We can regularly see in the news about the rising sea level and polar ice caps are melting.
