Abstract: Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are natural occurring gases in the atmosphere which interact with the sun to trap heat. This keeps the earth warmer and makes it a habitable planet to living organism. Example of these gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water vapor. Over the years there has been a spike in human activities as the human world advances and more technological breakthrough are being achieved, these result in emission of increasingly large amount of these gases to the atmosphere. These gases are increasingly trapped in the earth surface, this trapped gasses result in an effect that increase the earth climate and temperature, the heightening temperature result makes the environment unfavorable to human, plant and animal. A lot of strategies have been employed in reducing greenhouse effect such as afforestation, changing the energy source but as a result of developing increasing human activities, the effect are becoming less or minimal. Excessive evaporation of water, increase in rainfall, desertification of some environment and flooding of others, drought, erosion are some of the impact of GHGs to the environment. This also causes migration of animals to cooler region and evolution of some plants to adapt to the constant changing weather. This has impacted heavily on the ecosystem displacing balance of the biogeochemical circles.
