Abstract
It is well recognized that the greenhouse gas such as Chlorofluoro Carbon (CFC) is responsible for the increase in the average global temperature. The presence of CFC is responsible for the depletion of ozone concentration in the atmosphere due to which the heat accompanied with the sun rays are less absorbed causing increase in the atmospheric temperature of the Earth. The increase in temperature level may directly or indirectly affect the dynamics of interacting species systems. Therefore, in this paper, a mathematical model is proposed and analysed to asses the effects of increasing temperature on the survival or extinction of two competing populations.
