Using Of Fossil Fuels


It is easy to see that burning fossil fuels is bad for our environment. The gases that are released are deadly, and burning fossil fuels is a non-renewable energy source. When people think that fossil fuels are a necessary form of energy, they need to look into all the negative consequences. It is up to the government to find an alternative fossil fuels.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines fossil fuel as "a fuel (as coal, oil, or natural gas) formed in the earth from plant or animal remains." As a society, we have become far too dependent on fossil fuels. Any machine someone can think of probably runs on fossil fuels. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, and any other form of transportation run on fossil fuels. Even how our houses are heated during the winter time is largely based on fossil fuels. So when will we start feeling the repercussions of our actions with fossil fuels? Right now! 



The negative effects of fossil fuels are endless. The worst effect associated with
burning fossil fuels is the release of carbon dioxide. This is what is known as a greenhouse gas. When released, carbon dioxide rises into the ozone layer. Over time, the build-up of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases causes global warming.

Well, it does not take a rocket scientist to realize that global warming is taking place. Global warming is slowly causing the polar ice caps to melt. This is raising the level of the ocean and causing there to be less and less land. Global warming is also having a devastating effect on several
species of animals, especially polar bears. With the polar ice caps melting, there is less frozen land for the polar bears to roam. As the food supply dwindles, so do the polar bears. Unless there is some way that we can reverse the effects of fossil fuels, the polar bears will become extinct.
