The time period that resulted in a large amount of carbon load in the atmosphere due to the abundance of factories is commonly known as the Industrial Revolution. This period occurred in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and was characterized by the rapid industrialization and technological advancements, particularly in Europe and North America. During this time, the use of coal as a primary source of energy in factories, along with the increase in manufacturing processes and transportation, released significant amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The Industrial Revolution marked a turning point in human history, leading to the modern era of industrialization but also causing severe environmental consequences such as air pollution and global climate change.
