in earths atmosphere .This increases the temperature of earth and leads to global warming .

Temperature of Earth surface rise because of the human activities .These activities increases the greenhouse gases.

The greenhouse gases are:

Carbon dioxide from respiration, fermentation , combustion of fossil fuels and burning forest .

CFCs from aerosols , refrigerator , and packaging .

Rapid decomposition of humus , combustion of fossil fuels and use of nitrogen fertilizer .

Melting of polar ice caps and thermal expansion of water , causes the sea levels to rise

Changes in local weather patterns like the rainfall pattern . Vectors of disease such as mosquitoes to alter their range . Heat can speed up the rate of reproduction and maturation of mosquitoes . Greater risks to human health like heat related illness.

Use public transport or car-pooling and reduce air travel
