“Since greenhouse gas emissions are often calculated as carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e), they are often referred to as “carbon emissions” when discussing global warming or the greenhouse effect. Since the Industrial Revolution, the burning of fossil fuels has increased, which directly correlates to the increase of carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere and, thus, the rapid increase of global warming.”
