There is no doubt in the fact that today there is a strong need of global warming solutions and climate change solutions. Global warming is basically a process of heating up of earth’s atmosphere, with a significant increase in the level of CO2. Usually green house gases are responsible for increasing the earth’s average temperature. Our planet, earth, is wrapped in the layers of heat- trapping gaseous content.

And when this harmful gaseous content get released in the atmosphere, it acts like a blanket, which traps heat in the atmosphere and altering climatic conditions globally.
