Climate change can be defined as the long-term variations in atmospheric temperature, precipitation and weather patterns, and the main culprit for this drastic change is Global warming. Which is thought to be man-made. However over the course of history, throughout these 6 billion years the death has had these drastic climatic variation, for which natural factors had been held responsible. However after the Onset of the industrial revolution there has been fundamental change in the nature of the atmospheric system.

The earths climate is driven by a continuous flow of energy from the sun. This energy passes through the earth’s atmosphere and warms the earth’s surface.
As the temperature increases, the earth sends heat energy …show more content…

Adding soot and other aerosols (fine particles suspended in the air) further adds to, or subtracts from, the effect of CO2. As a result, the Earth’s temperature will in practice warm up by more than 1°C for each doubling of CO2 concentrations.

However some scientists argue humans are not the main cause and that it is a natural processes.
Many scientists claim that the minds behind the discovery of ‘man-made global warming’ were not scientists but politicians, university lecturers. According to anonymous scientists, global atmospheric temperature have always varied throughout time and reposed to change in the amount of incoming solar radiation at certain time due to solar flares and sunspots.

It is interesting to note that, even though carbon dioxide is necessary for life on Earth to exist, there is precious little of it in Earth’s atmosphere. As of 2008, only 39 out of every 100,000 molecules of air were CO2, and it will take mankind’s CO2 emissions 5 more years to increase that number by 1, to 40.

There are also arguments that increased volcanic activity can have a significant effect on atmospheres temperatures due to huge amount of gases released during
