Increasing concentration of green house gases produced by human activities is considered as the principal cause of global warming. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions occur from fossil fuel combustion, cement production, and the use of land for agriculture resulting in deforestation. Human influence is also related to warming of the atmosphere and the ocean, changes in the global water cycle, reductions in snow and ice, global mean sea level rise, and changes in some climate extremes. In this particular feature article; potential impacts and issues related to global warming have been addressed, strategies for mitigation as well as adaptation to climate change described and corrective measures being adopted worldwide for solving the global warming related problems outlined.
