6. Conclusion
Climate has briskly changed and its temperature increasing since 20th century; hence, one of
the reason is promptly increases of industries which lead to generate poisoning gases such as
carbon dioxide and methane. Indeed, industries consumed more fossils fuel than transports
which used to generate harmful gases; consequently, these gases affect the atmosphere which
ultimately harms the ozone layer. Furthermore, combination of these gases hurts ozone layer
which creates a hole in the layer then dangerous radiation of sun directly spin off on the earth
and absorbed by rivers, oceans and plain area of earth where contraction of earth’s
atmosphere does not provide a way to push back the rays, consequently, these rays increases
temperature of the atmosphere of the earth.

However, the exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that warms the earth is referred to
as the green house effect, the rays coming from straight sun in form of infrared rays are pushed
back by green house a layer which protect the ozone while some radiation crossed it but
reflected back by atmosphere of the earth.

Besides industries, similarly power plants and transportation are huge consumed fossils fuel as
well, which affect the green house gases; these gases are protector of ozone layer from
ultraviolet and solar radiation and mainly exchange the radiation coming from earth and sun.
However, the green house effected by the methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) by burning
of fossils fuel and coal thereby the green house gases become weaker and cannot protect the
ozone layer and caused a hole in ozone layer. In other words, the green house effected at that
moment ozone layer effected, in short, enormous use up of fossil fuel in power plants could
prevail on climate.

Moreover, a serious threat to climate would instantly growth in population of the world, people
could demand more products essentially industrial as well as electrical. Indeed, industries and
power plants are dependent on fossil fuel; people need services whether they are burnt with
fossil fuel or coal which forms a competition among industries to provide more frequently
resources to people. As a result, climate becomes worse.
With growth of urbanization causes global warming, people moving from remote area to cities
means building, restructuring and progress of living standards where the structure of buildings
are cemented which release more heat and effect the atmosphere whereas wastage of their
uses also creates harmful gases, however, these poisoning gases are dangerous for green house
environment, nevertheless, urbanization is a progress of human but it is more hazard for green
house.

Furthermore, urbanization has changed the living standard of human, likewise, using own
transport, Electronic equipment i.e. Air Conditioner and Refrigerator, these equipment uses
neon and Chlorodifluoro gases aftermath of these gases hazardous for green house even these
gases more harmful than methane and carbon dioxide for depletion of ozone layer. In addition,
using transport that exhausting smoke is also leaves poisonous gases which becomes air
pollution. Its causes on human’s health while on lungs and one of the reason for cancer the
smoke exhausted by motor-vehicles not only affects on health but also on environment of the
earth. In nutshell, lifestyle of people has massive impact on environment and causes of global
warming.

i. Excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides

As, Urbanization demanded more services of electronics equipment along it enhanced demand of
food as incre
