How industrialization is responsible for Global Warming?

Solution

Industrialization is responsible for Global Warming:

  1. Global warming is defined as "a consistent increase in the earth's average temperature denoted by increasing global surface temperatures caused or influenced by continuous emissions of greenhouse gases, with over 90% of the air polluted by carbon dioxide and CFCs such as methane and nitrous oxide, as well as other air pollutants that affect the planet's climate sensitivity and precipitation levels.
  2. The Earth's average global temperature has been gradually rising for the past 50 years, and this trend has been advancing at a quicker rate in recent years.
  3. Rapid population expansion along with industrialization is also a cause of global warming due to higher levels of hazardous emissions.
  4. A higher population leads to increasing product demand, as well as increased levels of consumption and output. This correlates to increasing activity including industrialization, which eventually results in higher quantities of greenhouse gases.
  5. Though natural cycles and fluctuations have caused the earth's climate to change several times in the last 800,000 years, our current era of global warming is directly attributable to human activity—specifically, our use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, gasoline, and natural gas.
