built 657 days ago
* During the twentieth century, nearly 3.2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide has been added to the earth’s atmosphere annually, a 35 percent increase since the Industrial Revolution. As demand for electricity increases, so does consumption of fossil fuels, increasing the amount of greenhouse emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere.

The period of time covered by the Industrial Revolution varies with different historians. Eric Hobsbawm held that it 'broke out' in the 1780s and was not fully felt until the 1830s or 1840s,[4] while T. S. Ashton held that it occurred roughly between 1760 and 1830.[5] Some twentieth century historians such as John Clapham and Nicholas Crafts have argued that the process of economic and social change took place gradually and the term revolution is not a true description of what took place. This is still a subject of debate amongst historians.[6][7]

The French coined the term Industrial Revolution in the 19th century as an analogy to their own political revolution. Although the phrase is in common use, it is not always clear what this phenomenon was or even when it occurred.
