Continued use of fossil fuels will result in increased greenhouse gas emissions, leading to global warming and climate change. This can contribute to more frequent and severe natural disasters, disruption of ecosystems, rising sea levels, and loss of biodiversity. Transitioning to alternative energy sources is crucial to mitigate these impacts and ensure a sustainable future.

Why do you keep using fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are made from fossils. But why do we use them? They are nonrenewable resources like coal, oil and gas. They can run out and never be used again. We keep using them because we haven't found a replacement resource. By Cassie, age 9.


Why will insulating homes save burning fossil fuels?

Insulating homes helps to reduce heat loss, leading to lower energy consumption for heating or cooling. By using less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature, homes that are well insulated can help decrease the demand for fossil fuels that are typically used to generate electricity or provide heat. This reduction in fossil fuel consumption can help lower greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.


What do swamps have to do with fossil fuels?

Swamps that exist today do not have any connection with fossil fuels. It is the swamps, rivers, marshes, and lakes that existed millions of years (often 100's of millions ago) that have everything to do with petroleum. If all conditions are right, then the organic material deposited in these environments can turn to oil, gas or coal. You can find many more links on the internet on the process by which plant and animal life became fossil fuels. In learning about the process, keep in mind that places like Saudi Arabia or Oklahoma were very different 100 million years ago.


Why do we need alternative energy to fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are damaging our environment with greenhouse gases. We need to get renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen) working everywhere so we can stop burning coal and oil. Fossil fuels are not renewable. There is only a limited supply. We need to keep fossil oil for making plastic, a really useful invention.


What are two reasons to conserve fossil fuels?

The world is running out of oil, and we should keep it for useful things like making plastic instead of burning it.Burning it is damaging the environment, by adding to global warming. It is much better to conserve it, and use renewable sources of energy instead.

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 should you use instead of fossil fuels?

We use fossil fuels all the time and we will keep using them. You should really just cut back on how many fossil fuels you are using. Unplug plugs when your not using them etc, etc I hope this helped


Why should you keep using fossil fuels?

Because there is no suitable alternative at present


How do you keep fossil fuels down?

By not lifting them up


Why is waisting elecricity so bad?

Electricity is created using fossil fuels. Fossil fuels take many years to be made, sometimes more than a decade. If people keep wasting electricity we would soon run out of fossil fuels to create more energy which could kill us as we need warmth etc. to live. As fossil fuels take a while to come around,we could be stuck without energy/electricty for ages.


Are fossil fuels finite or infinite?

they are infinite, because they will always keep being made


What fossil fuels will be save by increased use of nuclear power?

Increased use of nuclear power can help save fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas, which are currently the main sources of electricity generation. By using nuclear power for electricity production, these fossil fuels can be conserved for other essential uses and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

What will happen if we keep on using renewable energy?

By using renewable energy consistently, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combat climate change, improve air quality, and decrease our dependence on finite fossil fuels. This can lead to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy system that supports a healthier planet and economy.


What will happen to the Earth's atmosphere?

If we keep burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and destroying forests then it will get warmer and warmer, threatening our way of life and that of everything else on the earth.If we stop burning fossil fuels tomorrow and change immediately to renewable energy, there's a slim chance that global warming will slow (after quite a number of years) and stabilise, and we might survive!
