Global warming is the rise in average global temperatures brought on by the greenhouse effect. Sunlight heats the earth's surface, but certain gases in the atmosphere act like the glass of a greenhouse, trapping the heat as it radiates back into space. Greenhouse gases build up in the atmosphere, causing the Earth to warm. This process leads to climate change, which is also known as rapid climate change. Numerous factors that contribute to global warming have negative effects on people, plants, and animals. Both natural and human-caused factors may contribute to these issues. The modern world faces significant issues due to global warming and climate change. In this regard, microbes have a significant impact on the environment as users or producers of greenhouse gases. Due to its capacity to thrive in a variety of climatic situations and to its particular metabolic characteristics, microbial diversity in diverse ecosystems has a significant impact on climate change by reducing its negative effects. There are a variety of potential roles for mitigation that microorganisms and their biological constituents can play by supplying a forward response. They offer a great deal of potential, particularly when used to treat and lower greenhouse gas emissions through nutrient recycling. This review article gives a general overview of the argument over public policy and the science behind global warming. It takes into account the elements contribute to rising near-surface air temperatures, greenhouse gases potential ecological and societal impacts of temperature increases and the influence of climatic and environmental change on microorganisms.
