From the Paper:

"Global warming is considered as one of the most significant environmental problems throughout the world. The earth's atmosphere has turned out to become warmer than ever before due to an increase in the level of greenhouse gases. Research has proved that human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels are the main reason for the problem of global warming. The impacts of climate change which were predicted by scientists have already
started occurring in our environment in the form of increased droughts in some areas and flooding in others, rise in the ocean temperatures and sea levels, severe weather events such as tornadoes and hurricanes, melting of glaciers and reducing icecaps, drying coral reefs, coastal erosion and loss of coastal ecosystems, indicating that global warming has set into the world. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in its latest report in January 2001, states that "there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities". "
