Question
how did the industrial revolution contribute to global climate change? (1 point)
it led to the development of nonrenewable sources of energy.
it led to an increased use of coal, oil, and other fossil fuels.
it led to an increased use of alternative fuels other than fossil fuels.
it led to the release of chemicals that destroyed the ozone layer.
During the Industrial Revolution, factories and machinery relied heavily on coal, oil, and other fossil fuels. Burning these fuels releases large - amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which contribute to global climate change. Non - renewable energy development isn't the direct link to climate change here. Alternative fuels were not increased during this period. And the chemicals that destroyed the ozone layer (like CFCs) became more prominent later, not during the main Industrial Revolution era.
