Abstract
Ordinarily, any change in global temperature
and rainfall over a period of time. Commonly
associated with global warming, the sustained
spatio-temporal differential increases in
average temperature of earth near surface
air and oceans since the 20th century.
In practice, radiations from the sun upon
reflection from the earth or ocean surface to
the atmosphere are reflected back by a layer
of green house gasses in the stratosphere.
Green house gasses such as Carbon dioxide,
Methane, Chlorofloro carbons and Nitrogen
oxide come from automobile emissions, bush
and charcoal burning, refrigerators and other
human activities. The concentration of these
green house gasses in the atmosphere,
which is the problem, has been increasing
among others due to diminishing forest cover
in land uses.
