WHY IS CLIMATE CHANGE HAPPENING ? Our Earth is surrounded by a blanket of greenhouses gases(GHG) ,which trap the heat to maintain the earth temperature at a level suitable for humans and the earth ecosystems.

The GHG blanket got thicker and the earth temperature

has increased by 0.6 to 0.9 DegC , leading to 

CO2 Levels today have reached to a risky level

 Global Warming and Climate Change

Due to human activity , the greenhouse gases concentration has increased drastically following the industrial revolution in the nineties.
