We actually responsible for the increament of the atmospheric carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and many other things like some global warming phenomenon we are destroying the ozone layer in the stratosphere. 

Increasing concentration in the greenhouse gasses can cause the main climatic conditions like 

Increasing in the surface temperature

Intense heat waves

Increasing in the level of oceans 

The fluctuations in the amount of precipitation

The change in the chemical environment of the ocean like the salinity the acid content.

These change will affect human life, ecosystem, health and many more. Due to this many species can't survive for the specific changes.  

The main cause for the change in climate is due to the increase in human population.

Research saying by the year of 2050 the 50 percent of the land mass will submerged by the ocean and only half of the today's population will reamin in the world.
