Fueling the Crisis

Hydrocarbon fuels were fist used to create energy at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution ,as mankind began to run short of traditional fuels like wood and whale oil.

The new fuels contained more latent energy than any previously discovered but they also came with a flaw: the carbon emissions that are an unavoidable by-product of their combustion.There gases build up in the planets atmosphere, where they act like the panes of glass on a greenhouse, allowing the sun´s warmth in but not back out. As heat that would ordinaly radiate off into space is instead fefleted once again toward the planet´s surface temperature begin to rise and the globe begins to warm.
