Industrialization and climate change by releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These emissions come from burning fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and gas, for energy and manufacturing.
How industrialization contributes to climate change
Greenhouse gas emissions
The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases.
Deforestation
Industrialization leads to deforestation to make room for agriculture and urban areas.
Ocean acidification
Increased CO2 emissions are absorbed into the ocean, making it more acidic.
Loss of biodiversity
Climate change causes the loss of habitats for many plants and animals.
Other impacts of industrialization
Air pollution: Industrial emissions contribute to air pollution.
Water pollution: Industrialization contributes to water pollution.
Urban overcrowding: Industrialization contributes to urban overcrowding.
Depletion of natural resources: Industrialization contributes to the depletion of natural resources.
The role of the fossil fuel industry
The fossil fuel industry has the greatest impact on climate change, according to Earthday.org.
