(c) Due to heavy industrilization and transportation (modernization), CO2 concentration is increasing day by day in the atmosphere. CO2 has capacity for absorbing heat radiations and thus increases temperature. This increase in global temperature (global warming) is mainly due to CO2 concentration is called green house effect. Complete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass releases carbon dioxide. Nuclear power plants releases radioactive wastes.
