    The concept of Greenhouse gases (GHGs) was postulated by Joseph Fourier. It indicates the group of gases through which Green House Effect (GHE) is caused. All greenhouse gases together from a layer which helps in trapping of outgoing isolation solar radiations and keep the earth warm and habitable.

    Carbon dioxide causes the highest percentage (i.e., about 60%) of greenhouse effect, the enhanced greenhouse effect is known as Global warming. Global warming is Progressive heating of earth's atmosphere because of enhanced trapping of solar radiation.

    All the above factors are responsible for climate change. Both Greenhouse gases and Depletion of ozone layer ultimately lead to Global warming, which is the most important factor of climate change. The pollution also plays big role in climatic change as the source of acid rain, biodiversity loss and other climatic disturbances.
