Abstract

Natural environments have a direct or indirect impact on all living things' well-being, growth, nourishment, and development. Globally, the main contributors to climate change include industrialisation, agriculture, urbanisation, and greenhouse effects. Every year, the earth's surface
temperature and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels rise due to these climatic changes. The primary goal of this review article is to study the effect of greenhouse gases in climate change. The pace at which the planet's temperature has increased over the last 50 years has deeply alarmed a number of scientists, engineers, and environmentalists. More flexibility in their adaptation will help plant species withstand fluctuations in the frequency of harsh weather occurrences. One of the factors causing climate change is GHG. The results show how climate change affects the environment, which usually shows up as rising temperatures and CO2 levels.
