Abstract: Human activities contribute to climate change by causing changes in Earth’s atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gases, aerosols (small particles), and cloudiness. There may be a vigorous growth of some crops in raised CO2 conditions, but there is a trade-off because as temperature raises seed production may drop. Droughts and floods linked with rising temperature will likely affect some of the increased growth. Most of the crops till now eliminated and failure has been noticed. Shifting and endangering of the marginal crops is increasing rapidly which a big challenge and threats towards food security. Such changes could result in subsequent crop damage. So, with rising temperature diversity of herbivorous insects and their influence on plants increases generally. Greenhouse gases and aerosols affect climate by altering incoming solar radiation and out-going infrared (thermal) radiation that are part of Earth’s energy balance. Changing the atmospheric abundance or properties of these gases and particles can lead to a warming or cooling of the climate system.
