One approach to the problem is to find new sources of energy. The second way is to make the fuels that are available now last as long as possible while other solutions are being developed.

Why would scientists be concerned by the amount of fossil fuels people use?

Scientists are concerned about the amount of fossil fuels people use because their combustion releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which contribute to climate change. This leads to global warming, sea level rise, and other harmful environmental impacts. Additionally, fossil fuel extraction and usage can cause air and water pollution, harm ecosystems, and have negative health effects on humans.


What would happen if there were no fossil fuels?

We will have to use renewable energy like solar, wind and geothermal power and continue to use nuclear power. We also must use electric or hydrogen cars because without fossil fuels we will not have gasoline.Life would be different.


What are the problems if fossil fuels run out?

If the world runs out of fossil fuels and hasn't developed sufficient alternate energy sources, an energy crisis will ensue. Most people will be forced to do without privately owned vehicles for transportation, and basic services such as electricity, water and sewage may be disrupted or discontinued. Also, fossil fuels provide many of the raw materials used to create plastics and synthetic products such as fabrics - without fossil fuels these products may no longer be available.


Are there fossil fuels on Mars?

There is no current evidence that fossil fuels exist on Mars. Mars is primarily composed of rock and dust, and has a thin atmosphere. Any potential fossil fuels would have to be created through natural geological processes on the planet, which is yet to be discovered.


What are two environmental disadvantage to burning fossil fuels to provide energy?

There are many disadvantages of burning fossil fuels. These include pollution and also burning fossil fuels has a mesurable cooling effect on the climate.There are many disadvantages of burning fossil fuels.

What steps would you suggest to minimise environmental pollution caused by burning of fossil fuels?

Contact Government: they will have to deal with Industry.


How would fossil fuels change in the future?

The fossil fuels will become extinct in some years.There is no future of fossil fuels.That is why there is so much research going on the alternate fuels.

What is the difference between the Greenhouse Effect and fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources that can be burned to get energy. The Greenhouse Effect is, in part, the result of burning fossil fuels. In this example, fossil fuels would be a causative agent that creates an effect on the environment, specifically, the Earth's atmosphere.


What would happen if people keep using fossil fuels?

If you keep using fossil fuels it there will be no more and you cant give off energy.

What if fossil fuels was never invented?

Fossil fuels weren't invented, they simply exist, fossil fuel is just that, decayed/fossilized matter from thousands of millions of years ago, we just refine the fuel. And if we had never discovered the fossil fuels, more likely than not we would only be using electricity for things such as cars, heating, and other such things that use these fossil fuels. Or perhaps they would all run on ethanol (a..sort of wast product of corn) So, if fossil fuels were never discovered our lives would very likely be much the same as they are today, but, well, less polluted.

What kind of resources are non-renewable?

Fossil fuels, and anything made from them, uranium and minerals.


Does Australia have enough fossil fuels to last forever?

I would have to say no, because no fossil fuels last forever, as they are nonrenewable resources and the definition of nonrenewable is that they will eventually become nonexistent.


What belongs in the blank space of the chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels below?

The blank would be filled with "oxygen" because fossil fuels burn in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. The balanced equation for burning fossil fuels is: CxHy + O2 → CO2 + H2O.
