Abstract :

Ozone layer depletion (or the hole in the ozone layer) and then global climate change are the two important issues in the agenda of the world communities since 1980s. In general mostly the two problems are known as the same. Although the reasons of them are similar and one triggers the other, however, they are different problems. Due to their serious impacts upon almost all aspects of the life and the environment, the two problems are globally discussed among the members of all the vital sectors of the life. In this study, in the light of the recent literature the past, the current, and the future of the global climate change are presented with its all dimensions. When a problem is tried to be presented in detail, sometimes a few points are off target. So in this paper the problem is not evaluated in detail, main dimensions are only discussed. The talk will give the readers the answers to three specified questions: 1) currently is the human faced with the global climate change or not? 2) ?How much we have faced??, and 3) ?Is the reality terrible as exaggerated or not?
