How does conserving energy stop greenhouse gases from getting into the atmosphere?

Most energy (electricity and transport) comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). When fossil fuels burn, they emit carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. So if you save energy, then not so much fossil fuel is burnt and less greenhouse gases go into the air.


How do you reduce the consumption of fossil fuels?

Fossil fuel is coal, oil and natural gas, all being used in travel, industry, and to generate electricity, and all adding carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.Countries can reduce fossil fuel use by moving to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).You personally can reduce your fossil fuel use if you reduce your use of electricity...stop driving a car and use public transportturn off all lights and appliances at the wall when you leave the roomWalk short distancesUse a bicycleBuy fuel-efficient or hybrid carsMaintain your car properly to increase its mileageDrive your vehicle in the economy rangeAdjust your clothing, not the heating and cooling.Hang your clothes outside to dry.use a water efficient front loading washing machine and always wash a full load.just boil enough water for what you need. Not 2 liters for one cup of coffee.


Discuss the depleting fossil fuel reserve and potential solutions to this problem?

Fossil fuel is deplating fast and the only soulutions i see is to stop driving and to walk or ride a bike. We also could all buy electric cars. We might even all start car pooling everywhere we go or to catch the bus and or cab.


How do you stop burning fossil fuels?

Most of our modern civilisation relies on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). We burn them in transport, industry and to generate electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, that is causing global warming. To stop burning fossil fuels we have to change to renewable energy(solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).


Why should you stop using fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels contribute to air pollution, climate change, and environmental degradation. Transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar and wind power can help reduce these negative impacts and create a more sustainable future. Additionally, fossil fuels are finite resources, so shifting to alternatives can also help ensure a stable energy supply in the long term.

Should the us stop using fossil fuel?

This can be a personal opinion. But scientific studies show that we are experiencing golabl warming and the only way to stop this would be to completely stop the use of fossil fuels around the world. China burns more fossil fuels than the US does, so not only one country could stop global warming. And global warming won't stop the second we quit using all fossil fuels, we will continue to see the temperatures rise as the effects can last forever.


Why must you conserve fossil fuel?

Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) should be conserved under the earth, where they are now. Their use is the main cause of global warming and it's important that we stop using them.


How could you stop fossil fuels running out?

Stop using them. Instead use renewable alternatives.


How do you preserve nature so animals can survive?

stop using fossil fuels and stop deforestation. stop polluting the oceans


Does recyling stop global warming?

No, it won't stop global warming. It will help a little bit, and it will help a lot if everyone in the world does it. To stop global warming we have to stop burning fossil fuel. We have to stop cutting down forests. We have to plant a lot more trees. If we stop burning fossil fuel then we won't have any electricity or transport. This is why we are looking for better ways of making electricity and driving cars.

stop using fossil fuels and stop deforestation. stop polluting the oceans.


How do biofuels lower carbon emissions?

The steady increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere come from our use of fossil fuels. If we were able to stop using fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would stop rising. Biofuels are a partial answer, because by using biofuels you are reducing our use of fossil fuels.

Why should china be concerned about climate change?

They will have floods and droughts until they stop using fossil fuels.


Should you stop using fossil fuels?

I try not give opinions, just provide facts. So, I will answer the question- If you stop using fossil fuels entirely, what would you give up, and could someone live not using any sossil fuels. It is very difficult to use no fossil fuels. You may give up using a car or public transportation that uses oil products such as gasoline directly, but you home electricity is probably fueled by electric generators that run off of oil or coal. Many products in your home, such as plastics and synthetic rubber are petroleum based. Paint, thinners and solvents are petrochemicals. So, to give up fossil fuels, you would have to give up many items sold in your department and grocery store. The alternative is perhaps more practically. Use fossil fuels wisely, and find ways of using less.
