Question

What would most likely occur if the number of power plants powered by fossilfuels worldwide increased?A. It would lower the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmospherebecause more natural gas would be burnedB. It would cause the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere toincrease because less natural gas would be burnedC. It would cause the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere toincrease because more coal would be burned.O D. It would lower the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmospherebecause less coal would be burned.
