Earth is a system, where everything is connected, changes in one place influences changes in everything else. In the late 1970¡¯s various scientists noticed the depletion of Ozone layer; When started looking for the cause it was increased production in CFCs. We were produced it for refrigerators and air-conditioners. Several countries came together to reduce the use of CFCs. This change in one area would have caused serious issues if immediate action wasn¡¯t taken; not only to it would cause damage to wildlife but they are also harmful to humans health. After few decades ozone started to repleting. But this time alternative used instead of CFCs caused even more trouble to our natural system. This trouble is named as Climate Change, to be precise it is also known as Global Warming. The rapid increase and change in its temperature have been highest since the last 2 million years. Cause is known to everyone; Greenhouse Gasses this increase in production of carbon and decrease in its consumption is one of the major reasons for Global Warming. Even though the toxic CFCs is replaced by other gases such as HFCs. They still get trapped in atmosphere and prevented the release of heat from Earth¡¯s surface by preventing the sun rays from reflecting back in the space instead they reflect them back into our surface. The results of this phenomenon are an increase in temperature about 1 to 2¡ÆC  which has caused Wildfires intensified by heat. Bleaching of coral caused by ocean acidification and heating which made many Marine communities to die. Melting of Glaciers at poles made increase in sea levels are happening simultaneously. These are some major problems that have been rising and risking the stability of the nature but we can solve them with current technology; all we need to do is make them available.
