Expert Solution
Step 1
The CO2 percentage increases rapidly when the industrial revolution starts. The human originated sources such as vehicles, factories,. agriculture, and other industries caused the rapid release of CO2 in the atmosphere. This caused the high rates of carbon dioxide which later induce the global warming effect too.
