Factories generally have been fired by coal or oil through most of our industrial history. The earliest forms of industry were driven by water wheel plants, the "old mill" routine you know from pretty pictures. But from early on, industrialization meant burning coal or oil. And both put carbon dioxide into the air as they use oxygen to burn.
Of course, if we had enough trees to maintain the balance, we'd be fine. I wonder if anyone has calculated how much additional forest we would need in order to restore the balance of nature, now that we have other sources of energy besides burning fossil fuels?

The problem is the energy source of the indutrial process. Coal, oil and another sources transform termic energy in mechanical energy. Generally, this yelds in carbon dioxide emission ant the subsequently effects of CO2 in the atmosphere.

No pollution regulations in the beggining.
