Global warming is currently happening, and we are already experiencing some of its withering effects. It is and will severely affect ecosystems and disturb ecological balance. Because of the treacherous effects of global warming, some solutions must be devised. The present conceptual paper will discuss basic reasons and causes of global warming. How society itself responsible for global warming, how awareness can help people understand and change themselves and their fellow being in improving present scenario. How global warming is created and day by day becoming hazardous in prevailing conditions, what are the effects of global warming today and in future how it can make it more uncomfortable living conditions. This paper will also suggest strategies to improve present conditions by adopting few necessary changes in daily life not only by individuals’, institutions and society at large. Lastly this paper suggests global preventive measures which if seriously adopted can definitely reduce Global Warming.
