The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has a very destructive consequence, global warming. Global warming started around the 1880’s around 40 years after the Industrial Revolution in America. As a consequence of global warming, the climate change on the Earth has had lethal impacts. Humankind has come up with two methods to help control the amount of carbon that is being released into the planet these systems are called, cap and trade and carbon tax.
