Abstract

Since the 1760s, the first Industrial Revolution began in England, the steam engine which burns coal appeared. The steam engine could produce many kinds of poisonous gases such as CO, SO2 and NO2, these gases turned London into The City Of Fog. About one hundred years later, With the advent of the second Industrial Revolution, our human beings entered. The age of electricity, but limited by the technology of the time, in order to produce electricity, people still need to burn coal, this could also produce much greenhouse gas. For about a century, with the development of technology, our human step into the information age. Although the technology has advanced rapidly, there are even more fields that need fossil fuels to be burnt. Especially there are more and more cars on the rod and a large amount of them use petrol to run. There are also more and more industrial and residential use of fossil fuels also leads to the production of greenhouse gas like CO2. Besides, the wide use of the air-conditioner and refrigerator has caused a large amount of freon leak and leads to the problem of the Ozone layer hole above the South Pole. Because the greenhouse effect is becoming more and more serious and cannot be ignored,and other extreme natural misadventures happen around the world from time to time, how to solve these problems has become a hot topic to be discussed and it has become an urgent problem to be solved.
