Abstract
Our planet earth being an evolutionary planet is capable of supporting life, including human life. The impact of man upon the environment has existed ever since man himself walked on planet earth. Now a days the environmental damage done, particularly the heating up of the atmosphere due to the discharge of so-called green house gases such as nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, methane etc. are posing major threat to this planet. Green house gases concentration is increasing in the atmosphere, thereby increasing the temperature of the Earth and atmosphere. This increase in temperature can have catastrophic effects on weather, sea level, bio-diversity, human health etc. across the world threatening the survival of mankind on earth. Environmental sensitivity can only grow through a major public awareness campaign. In the present paper an attempt has been made to draw attention towards threatening impacts of global warming, measures to curb global warming and need of value based environmental education to transform the mind set of people.
