No, in fact it will decrease in the next 100 years. It is 19th century technology and it would be like going back to the horse and buggy instead of using the car.

What was the rise of industrialization accompanied by?

The rise of industrialization was accompanied by an increase in fossil fuel usage. This came about because of a rise in mechanized machinery that required coal and oil to run.


Burning fossil fuels such as - can rapidly increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Oil,Coal,Natural gas,Petroleum,Diesel,Aviation fuel.


What increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?

Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.


What is an increase in CO2?

This means an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. There is a normal balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees and green plants soak it up, and then when the trees rot or are burnt the carbon dioxide goes back into the atmosphere. However, more than 200 years ago we began seriously burning coal and oil. This released carbon dioxide that had been trapped millions of years ago. So over the years the amount of this gas in the atmosphere has been increasing. Most climate scientists agree that this increase in carbon dioxide is contributing to climate change and global warming.


Is coal a renuable or nonrenuable?

coal is renewable resource but the amount of renewation is slower than amount of consumption hence it can also be called as non renewable.Production of coal take millions of year.

Is coal a nonrenewable resorce?

Coal is considered a nonrenewable resource, even though global supplies could increase (but only if we waited millions of years and did not use any more of the amount Earth contains now).


Which action would increase the amount of carbon in the environment?

Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas increase the amount of carbon in the environment.


Why coal is an nonrenewable resource?

Coal was formed by wood forests submerged due to sand deposition and under intense pressure and high temperature over millions of years. Thus total coal reserves are limited. The total coal reserves in the world are 860,938 million tonnes. The amount of coal burned during 2007 was estimated at 7,075 million tons. At this rate the reserves shall be used in another 122 years, at current rate of usage - which is expected to increase. Exploration drilling programs by mining companies, particularly in under-explored areas, are continually providing new reserves, thereby the coal could last slightly longer. However, it is unlikely to last greater than 200 years. Thereby, coal is an non-renewable resource.
