Human activities have caused carbon dioxide to increase over the years, i.e., the Industrial Revolution in England, Europe and the United States.

Factories used machines that produced a great number of coal and oil. To make matters worse, automobiles, by the 20th Century run on gasoline, which is a fossil fuel.
