Years of expansion, building, creating and new discoveries marked the years of the Industrial Revolution. Europe and Britain were the first to experience an Industrial Revolution after they began re-shaping commerce and manufacturing, the rest of the world struggled to keep up with old methods. For America, the Industrial Revolution lasted from 1820-1870 and established the basis for manufacturing in today’s world. Countries in Asia like China and India seemed to have missed this onslaught of changes which left these countries behind for them to develop in later years. This said, China and India are considered developing countries meaning they’re still experiencing their industrial revolution and are catching up to developed countries. Developing

Coal and other fossil fuels were the main source of energy in factories across the globe which in turn meant that air pollution was on the rise. Burning of coal releases smog and cancerous particles into the air and further damages the ozone layer. The ozone layer protects the earth from the sun’s harmful rays, any damage to this layer allows the sun’s light to increasingly break through and increase the earth’s temperature. Furthermore, all fossil fuels have this effect…coal, oil and natural gas are the biggest sources of fuel in today’s industrial economy. These fuels have a similar effect on the environment and the burning of the ozone layer. A study publish in Environmental Research Letters ranks the countries from greatest to least in overall climate change. The United State ranks first as its responsible for a 0.151 C° increase, China comes in second with a 0.063 C° increase and third is Russia, fourth is Brazil and fifth is India. China, Brazil and India are considered developing countries which means that three out of the top five contributors to global warming are in the process of industrializing. Is it fair that these countries be restricted in their development because of time …show more content…
Zou Ji is the Deputy Director-General at the National Center for Climate Change Strategy and International Cooperation (NCSC). He earned his PhD in Environmental Economics at Renmin University in China and was the delegate of Chinese negotiation team for the United Nation’s Climate Talk. This author is another credible source because of his extensive experience in the field that his writing focuses on. “Rising Pollution in the Developing World” was published on a website called the World Economic Forum which is a Swiss non-profit that publishes articles about global issues. Zou Ji opposes Bell’s and Russell’s approach to solving the issue of increasing pollution, he argues that having one broad target is the best way to reach all countries and have the greatest effect on the global warming. He writes “As important as China’s role will be, the developing world must stick to targets set for renewable power generation, ensure high-polluting industries are properly regulated, and promote clean energy”. Zou Ji groups developed countries as the source of money and developing countries as the fixers. “Developing countries have the most work to do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will bear the impacts of global warming”. Developed countries will found the clean-up and cut down of pollution while the developing countries will be forced to adapt new policies and change
