Following actions are responsible for a gradual increase in the average temperature of the earth.

A. Industrial Revolution

B. Afforestation

C. Use of electricity provided by wind mills

D. Methane and such other gases released in atmosphere

E: Burning of fossil fuels

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

A, D and E only

The correct answer is option (3) : A, D and E only

Explanation:

• Industrial Revolution (A): This marked a significant increase in the use of fossil fuels and industrial processes that released greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
• Methane and other gases released in the atmosphere (D): Methane is a potent greenhouse gas released from agricultural activities, fossil fuel extraction, and other industrial processes.
• Burning of fossil fuels (E): This releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.

Afforestation (B): Afforestation, which is planting trees, actually helps reduce global warming. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and release oxygen.
Wind Mills (C): Wind energy is a clean and renewable source of energy. Unlike burning fossil fuels, windmills do not release greenhouse gases and contribute to reducing global warming.
