Abstract

The sun supplies the energy which runs the earth’s climate system. Changes and modifications in the configuration and intensity of incident solar radiation which hits the Earth may produce changes in global and regional Climate. Since 1950, most of the warming has been caused by human activities, human activities which create the emissions of greenhouse gases. The energy balance of the climate system has been significantly disturbed by Human activities not only by burning fuels but also by the usage of various components of carbon. Greenhouse gas concentrations increase and global temperatures rise, the total amount of water vapor in the atmosphere also increases, further amplifying the warming effect. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the effects of human activities on climate change.
