Evaluate how industrialization and modernization have collectively intensified the greenhouse effect over the past century.

Human progress since the Industrrial Revolution relied on fossil fuels. This brought development, but it also increased greenhouse gases and damaged natural carbon stroehouses like forests that absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Thus, the same activities that advanced humans also caused climate change and environmental degradation.

Deforestation has a double effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because burned trees releases large amount of carbon dioxide, and the loss of forests means they can no longer absorb carbon dioxide or produce oxygen.

Humans are producing a great amount of carbon dioxide daily by burning fossil fuels to produce energy, heat homes, run cars and airplanes, and produce electricity. They also contribute to carbon dioxide emission by cutting down trees indiscriminately for wood, mining, and clearing land for pastures.

We can stop the emission of greenhouse gases by reducing the use of fossil fuels and increasing the use of renewable energy sources. We should also stop deforestation and adopt environment friendly practices in our daily life.
