Result of rapid urbanization leads to the rise in global temperature. As the industries release various air pollutants, these pollutants having multiple greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc. (Arsalan et al. 2020), addition of this pollutant into the atmosphere increases the concentration of green- house gases. Now these gases absorb reflected solar radiation and cause the rise the global temperature and ultimately global warming (Abdollahbeigi 2020). Moreover, urbanization also cause the urban heat island effect in which the temperature of the metropolitan area increases compared to the rural area (Zhou and Chen 2018). As in the urban areas, the use of air conditioners increases, releasing different ODs (ozone depletion substances). These ODs directly affect the ozone layer, which results in thinning the ozone layer. Thinning of the ozone layer leads to the more harmful radiations coming to the earth and warming the earth more and more. This increase in temperature or warming of earth affects the whole life on the earth surface (Bartholy and Pongrácz 2018). Climate change caused by unplanned construction of large buildings in urban areas absorbs solar radiation and emits heat radiations in the afternoon, increasing the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, this year was the warmest since 2010. As a result of dust condensing into rain droplets, cities receive more rain than the surrounding countryside.
