Climate change is very serious problem to mankind as it is affecting climatic variables such as rainfall and temperature and which affects agriculture and livelihood of humans. The main reason of climate change and global warming is the increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. Greenhouse gases contain 72.4% carbon dioxide, making it the major component of GHG. Energy sector and transport sector are the two main emitter of CO2. The vehicular carbon emission of Ranchi is calculated for year 1997-2020 and is correlated against rainfall and temperature. The results shows that the vehicular carbon emission of Ranchi is increasing exponentially. The bi-variate correlation of CO2 signifies no significant correlation with rainfall however temperature is moderately correlated with CO2 emission. The partial correlation signifies the moderate influence of CO2 on rainfall and temperature of Ranchi.
