Global warming is a slow continuous phenomenon which poses a threat to the existence of human beings. The causative factors of global warming include the technological developments as well as industrialization. Gases like carbon dioxide, CFC etc maintained and optimized the temperature on the top layer of the earth suitable for the inhabitance of the living beings. But the reckless activities like cutting of trees, destroying the equilibrium of nature, urbanization etc has resulted in the emission of more gases as well as the depletion of the ozone layer. The increased temperature will result in the melting of ice caps over the Polar Regions which in turn is sufficient to wipe out the whole life on earth.
