Second, reducing global warming will incur large costs

Changing the climate of the earth will also impact living conditions for humanity. People will be forced to deal with the effects of living in a warmer environment, which may mean hotter temperatures and growth of mold and mildew, as well as deal with the issues surrounding home modification to adjust to the new climate variable.

, 1998. They work to regulate the temperatures in the globe by reabsorbing heat reflected from the surface of the earth and trapping it. The natural process of trapping heat creates a balance on the global atmosphere only when the amount of heat trapped does not exceed the volumes required. Over the years, human activities have led to the introduction of artificially created gases comprising of Methane and carbon dioxide. The release

Global warming is due to human actions. Since the Industrial Revolution, there is an increase in the greenhouse gases all over the world. This, consequently, has turned out to be the cause of a slow but sure increase of the temperature of the earth's lower atmosphere. This phenomenon has been given the name of Global Warming ("Global Warming," 2009). The greenhouse effect is a natural process due to which the temperature of
