The phenomenon of keeping the earth warm due to presence of certain radiaticely gases inthe atmosphere is called green house effect (Fourier, 1827). The name is based after asimilar warmer interior in a glass-enclosed green house where glass panes, CO2 and watervapour allow the solar radiation to enter but prevent the escape of long wave heatradiations.
