Scientific evidence shows climate change is not a hoax | TheCable
The industrial revolution brought about an increase in the burning of fossil fuels, and consequently, the release of huge volumes of greenhouse gasses like methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and hydrocarbons into the atmosphere.
These gases have trapped heat from the sun in an uncommon dimension, and they are largely responsible for the melting of ice, warming of the ocean, and other changes in the global climate. According to NASA, the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere as a result of increased human activity and industrialisation is happening at a rate that is about 250 times faster than the release from natural sources following the last ice age.The impact of burning fossil fuels on global climate has been established for centuries. Increased human activities post-industrial revolution only sped up the effect of global warming and climate change realities.
