Why is it difficult to stop using fossil fuel?

It is difficult to stop using fossil fuels because they have been the primary source of energy for centuries and are deeply ingrained in our infrastructure and economy. Transitioning to alternative sources of energy requires significant investment, changes in infrastructure, and overcoming political and economic barriers. Additionally, fossil fuel industries are powerful and have a vested interest in maintaining their dominance.


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 can you stop fossil fuels in this world?

To reduce the use of fossil fuels, we can focus on increasing the adoption of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Governments can implement policies that incentivize the transition to cleaner energy sources and discourage the use of fossil fuels through carbon pricing and emissions regulations. Individuals can also make a difference by reducing their personal energy consumption and supporting sustainable transportation options.


What are the results of burning fossil fuels?

Burning fossil fuels releases long held carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is extra carbon dioxide from millions of years ago and it is overloading the carbon cycle. The greenhouse effect has turned into an enhanced greenhouse effect which some scientists believe is causing global warming. Other scientists believe the earth simply moves into and out of periods of intense warming. The hope of mankind is that we can someday move beyond the use of fossil fuels. People feel we need to move to renewable sources of energy, like solar, water, wind, tidal, geothermal and biomass. And there are certainly many disadvantages to their use. But, the idea that we can currently stop using fossil fuels without billions dying though is a fantasy, because other things that result from the use of fossil fuels include all the conveniences of modern life. To stop burning fossil fuels we would need to give up on any food not locally grown. We would need to stop all transportation and virtually all electric power. The maintenance of power lines also requires fossil fuels. Modern medicine would be a thing of the past to rid ourselves of fossil fuels.


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 china be concerned about climate change?

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


How could you stop fossil fuels running out?

Stop using them. Instead use renewable alternatives.


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.


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.

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.


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.


Which of following problems would have the greatest effect toward lowering co2 emission?

Stop using fossil fuels.


What problems do you face using fossil fuels?

Using fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is causing global warming.Global warming is causing climate change.Climate change, if we don't stop it, will wipe out many species, including man.


What effect do you think reducing the amounts of fossil fuels that are burned would have on acid rain and global warming?

reducing the amounts of fossil fuels is a good thing and it will help slow down the progress of global warming. Acid rain will not happen as much as it does now. But if we stop using fossil fuels and stop releasing greenhouse gases into the air. We could stop acid rain and global warming altogether. In conclusion, the more you reduce, the less acid rain and global warming.
