Burning fossil fuels adds Carbon Dioxide and other chemicals into the atmosphere and when that happens the earths atmospheres heats up and then temperatures rise, which will start to kill the plants and animals on our planet

Why should you reduce the use of fossil fuel?
Because it produces CO and CO2. (greenhouse effect and global warming)
What two technologies reduce dependence on fossil fuel generated electrical energy?
There are really a lot of technologies, both new and old, that more or less reduce dependence on fossil fuels. I'll just name two of the more promising types of technology that are currently in active use and development. Battery technology (electochemistry) is a very major way of reducing dependence on fossil fuels for energy. The main advantage of fossil fuels is that they can be carried and spent relatively quickly, a reason for why most engines use petroleum. With lightweight batteries, energy from other non-portable sources (wind, solar, etc.) can now be used efficiently in areas that were once exclusive to fossil fuels. This reduces overall dependence on fossil fuels by allowing other types of energy to partially replace it. Nuclear power is another very effective way to reduce fossil fuel dependence. Solar and wind power sources are limited by high costs and a need for extremely large land areas that cannot reasonably supply the world's entire energy needs. With Nuclear power, the cost of energy in relation to the fuel costs are negligible (about 1 cent/kwh depending on the plant) so that the fees mostly pay for the construction and maintenance of the facility. Nuclear plants are safer, considering that many people die every year mining for fossil fuels and countless others are harmed by the pollution. Generation IV power stations are also designed to generate power from nuclear waste, potentially eliminating a major hindrance.
How can a global dependence on fossil fuels have associated social costs?
A global dependence on fossil fuels leads to an increased demand for limited resources. This leads to increased costs and greater access to resources for people and countries with greater monetary resources. Developing countries experience hindrances to their development through their inability to access fossil fuel resources.
Is rocket fuel a fossil fuel?
Yes it is a fossil fuel.
What is a living fossil fuel?
a living fossil fuel.
What are you going to do at a personal level to reduce Global Warming?
reduce dependence on fossil fuel and cold storage devices.
How can you reduce dependence on fossil fuels?
Heat with wood to reduce your dependence on fossil fuels. Turn your lawn into an organic garden. Telecommute. Buy an electric car and renewable energy to reduce your dependence on fossil fuels.
Can global fossil fuel dependence lead to and increase in oil prices?
true
Are bio fuels cheaper than fossil fuels?
In general, yes, but only because structures are in place to make fossil fuel more easily available and attainable. Most biofuels actually have the potential to be far cheaper, and they also help reduce dependence on foreign fossil fuels.
Why should you reduce the use of fossil fuel?

What is burning of fossil fuel?
We should not burn fossil fuels.

Why is green energy important to the future of plants?
By increasing our dependence on green energy our dependence on fossil fuel will decrease and hence a balance of different gases in the air will be maintained. Thus plants will be saved from effects of climate change.
What are you doing about climate change?
More to the point what are YOU doing about it. (I am trying to reduce my fossil fuel usage).
How can we reduce the combustion of fossil fuels?
You can change the air-to-fuel ratio to get less optimal combustion.
Is rocket fuel a fossil fuel?
Yes it is a fossil fuel.
