The purpose of this study is to discuss if globalisation will ever be a trusted concept, and to see if there is a possibility where globalisation will make the world perceive its benefits more than its failures. The importance of this study is to explain the origin and the rise of globalization in the world. Furthermore, the study examined the effects of globalisation on global warming and energy consumption. It also investigated the effect of globalisation on climate change. Our finding shows that the effect of globalisation will never be a trusted concept, since it will never be possible for the world to perceive globalisation mainly on its benefits rather than failures.
