However, trying to understand each of these trends separately will not fully explain the causes…

and nitrous oxide [1]. This gas is emitted mostly by energy plants, transportation vehicles and deforestation. In a huge amount, it acts like a thermal blanket for the Earth conserving the heat which leads to important environmental problems such as global warming [2]. These gases are generated by all nations and some nations are bigger polluters than others. As the problem was arising, the need to create an agreement to solve this problem arose.
