There have been a lot of published articles about Climate Change

(also known as Global Warming) in the scientific community and
media. What do the terms 'global warming' or 'climate change' refer
to? What are the causes of Climate Change according to
atmospheric scientists? Specifically how have humans contributed
to Climate Change and what role does the Greenhouse Effect play?

Global warming means when the earth receives more than enough radiation from the sun and it leads to melting down of ice caps and polar regions, and its leads to flooding and drought in some part of the world. Release of carbon dioxide from man made machines helps destroy or deplete the ozone layer, which allows more harmful radiation from the sun to reach the surface of the earth. Green house gasses prevents heat from going back into space, there by warming the planet( making it hot) .
