Paper Summary:

This paper takes a look at the problem of global warming, and how it stems from industrialization in the 19th and 20th centuries. The paper also looks at why industrial owners are unwilling to take steps to help solve the problem.

From the Paper:

"Ironically, the industrialization of Europe and America in the 1800s has been the cornerstone of the environmental problems that we are experiencing today, one hundred years later. Now, when the earth's biosphere is suffering from a century of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane emissions, industrial chiefs are beginning to "squeal like pigs" because their industries are being forced to commit to the reduction of toxic emissions that result from their manufacturing processes and that are adding to the global warming problem. An examination of the past and present state of affairs of industrialization shows how this issue is one that the manufacturing community is unwilling to address."
