Thus, the more inventions, the larger the factories would be and the more pollution would be let out into the air and that is why the industrial revolution had an affect on the global climate.

People weren't doing their jobs fast enough with turning spinning wheel with cotton or wool. So what Arkwright did was create this machine that controlled the process of spinning cotton fibers. The machine did the work better and faster than man. Although things were done at an impressive amount of speed, the climate was being effected.

The more factories grew, the more pollution there was being released into the air. During this time, atmospheric CO2 was at it's highest level in 15-20 years. Studies even showed, according to the statistics, the climate change was mainly affected by people who continue
