Abstract
Global warming is considered an average increase in the Earth's temperature due to greenhouse effect as a result of both natural and human activities. In common usage, global warming often refers to the warming that can occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities, e.g., carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and fluorinated gases, which act like a greenhouse around the earth, trapping the heat from the sun into the earth's atmosphere and increasing the Earth's temperature.
