Burning fossil fuels affect the environment by releasing CO2 or carbon dioxide which creates an invisible blanket in Earth's atmosphere. The blanket traps the sun's rays making the planet's temperature increase. This is called the greenhouse effect.
Deforestation removes the trees that were taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. So both things are contributing to global warming.

Population affects fossill fuels by people using the fossil fuels
How does desalination affect the environment?
they use vital resources to run, like fossil fuels, they also use nuclear power. both of these effect the environment.
How do you manage our use of fossil fuels?
First when you find fossil fuels they can either be bad or kinda bad, and also when we have too many fossil fuels they can harm our environment.
