An estimated 35.6 billion metric tons are made from burning fossil fuels every year, and that number rises sharply every year.
2 gallons of fossil fuels are burnt a day
Over period of millions of year.
Fossil fuels are not increasing year by year. However, the known reserves of fossil fuels may be increasing, depending on the success of exploration efforts and the rate of depletion of the reserves. Also, reserves are divided into producible and non-producible portions, with the distinction based on what is considered economical to extract given current prices. As the producible portion is used up and as extraction technology improves, the dividing line between producible and non-producible moves and the producible portion may grow.
Plastics, artificial rubber, Vaseline, diesel, gasoline 500 billion tons of plastic produced in the world every year is made from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). 70% of this ends up in landfills.
They include Petroleum (oil), natural gas, and coal. ~11 year old

20,000
Fossil fuels will completely ran out in the year 2,300.
Because oil comes from fossil fuels and fossil fuels takes million of year to form.
a boat load
Over period of millions of year.
Because for them to replenish takes millions of year.
It is a plant resource. More info: Fossil fuels come from decayed plants and animals. Fossil fuels are a limited non renewable energy source. A plant resource can usually be regrown every year and therefore has no production limit.

Oil and gas are fossil fuels and come from millions of year of earths pressure on the fossil and plant life that once existed. This is why they are nonrenewable.
