Answer:

Increased population impacts global warming because it results in an increased use of fossil fuels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The increase in the world population has led to greater consumption of fossil fuels, which has contributed greatly to global warming. This happens because the greater the population, the greater the resources consumed. As the extraction, transport and production of resources depends on the energy produced by fossil fuels, the greater the production of resources, the greater the consumption of these fuels that generate greater global warming.

Then, polluting factories are necessary to give work to the growing population, and the use of fossil fuels also polluting is essential for the production of vital resources for the survival of this population.

It is, as it can be seen, a vicious circle, since the larger the population, the greater the pollution and, therefore, the greater the global warming.
