Since the Industrial Revolution we have been burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This burning releases EXTRA carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, some of which is NOT removed by the carbon cycle. These greenhouse gases capture the sun's heat as it comes off the earth and warms the atmosphere. As the gases build up, so the world is getting warmer. This is global warming.
What else can I help you with?
What connection does global warming have with the Industrial Revolution?
The connection between global warming and the Industrial Revolution is that the Industrial Revolution led to a significant increase in the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. This increased use of fossil fuels released large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to the enhanced greenhouse effect and subsequent global warming. The Industrial Revolution marked the beginning of the anthropogenic contribution to climate change.
What greenhouse gases increased significantly after the Industrial Revolution?
After the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago, when we discovered and started to burn coal we began releasing carbon dioxide. This is the greenhouse gas that has increased significantly since that time, and is causing global warming.
What happened in the early 1800s to account for the rise in global warming?
The industrial revolution and all the factories ment greenhouse gases started being produced
What is the meaning of greenhouse warming?
The greenhouse effect is the way certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat rising from the surface of the earth. This warming keeps the earth comfortably warm enough for life. Since the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago, we have been adding extra gases which are now producing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Is global warming originally caused by plate tectonic shifting?
No, global warming began when humans seriously started burning fossil fuels in the Industrial Revolution, adding additional greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide) to the atmosphere.
Was there always global warming?
No, global warming is a relatively recent phenomenon that has significantly accelerated since the industrial revolution. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have increased greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.
What were some effects on the atmosphere by the Industrial Revolution?
The industrial revolution caused tremendous amounts of carbon to be liberated from the earth, where they were emitted into the air mostly as fossil fuels. This added largely carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, which enhanced the natural greenhouse effect. This is why the earth has been warming for the last century, increasingly so in recent decades.
How long has global warming hit Earth?
We know now that global warming started in the Industrial Revolution, more than 200 years ago, when we discovered and started to burn fossil fuels, which released carbon dioxide (CO2). This is one of the greenhouse gases that are causing global warming.
Why is it more of a problem now than it was before the industrial revolution?
Why is it more of a problem now than it was before the industrial revolution? global warming
What environmental issue is related to the greenhouse effect?
Global Warming... Global Warming is caused by Carbon Dioxide being trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. AKA the greenhouse effect.
When did the Greenhouse effect start?
The greenhouse effect has been a natural phenomenon on Earth for millions of years. However, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have significantly increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, intensifying the greenhouse effect and leading to global warming.
Where did climate change start?
Climate change started in Britain with the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago when we began to seriously burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This was the beginning of global warming.
