this
 evolution many issues, affecting the environment, have come into existence. Among them, global warming is one of serious phenomenon harming the nature and its habitats. Global warming is the caused due to the emission of greenhouse gases
such
 as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide. These gases release into the earth's atmosphere and create holes in the ozone layer which protects the troposphere from the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun.
