The disastrous consequences of green house effect are following:

(i) High temperature of atmosphere may melt polar ice caps which is likely to raise the level of sea thereby sinking most of the coastal areas and causing large scale destruction.

(ii) The high temperature may reduce crop product.

(iii) The high temperature will reduce work efficiency of human being.

(iv) Tropical rains and hurricane will become more frequent and also more stronger causing more devastation.

(v) The change in ocean temperature will adversely affect the warm life.
