Over the past centuries, nothing worse than this situation has posed a threat to living beings, it can be both, human or animal. Climate change has rather rapidly become a global issue, mostly because of the negative contributions made by humans, unintentionally.

So, the in return the ozone layer is affected by the gasses. Sunlight, when it hits the surface, is either absorbed by the land and atmosphere or is reflected back into space. If, in case it’s absorbed, then some of the energy, in the form of heat is released back into the atmosphere. The severity of sun rays can cause either extreme cooling or extreme heating, as the level of intensity is affected by changes taking place in the sun itself. All of these changes are originally caused by mankind, as our population tends to increase immensely, our need for oxygen elevates as well, on the other hand, we also need land for settlement, fields for agriculture, especially in Less Economically Developed Countries and lead them to chop trees.
