It has a significant impact on the lives of plants, animals and humans which can either be positive or negative. Hence, it is obvious, that all living components are dependent on the climate for their ultimate survival. The publications from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC） provide evidence that human activity-related greenhouse gas emissions have been responsible for global warming between 1850 and 1900. Human activities, namely the burning of fossil fuels and heavy energy consumption, industrialization, nuclear experiments and irregular disposal of solid waste have generated unfavorable climate conditions, natural hazards and are menacing natural ecosystems at present. Human activities have accelerated the warming
