Over the past century, the demand for fossil fuels has generally increased, driven by industrialization, urbanization, and population growth. The post-World War II economic boom led to a significant rise in oil, coal, and natural gas consumption, particularly in developed nations. However, recent trends indicate a shift as renewable energy sources gain traction, and concerns about climate change prompt efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. This has led to a more complex landscape where demand may stabilize or even decline in some regions while still growing in others, particularly in developing economies.

Why is it difficult to say exactly when the world will run out of fossil fuels?

To know when the earth's fossil fuels will be completely gone, it is necessary to know: 1. Supply: The existing and future quantities (yet to be discovered) of fossil fuels and 2. Consumption: The rate at which the world will consume these fuels. There is disagreement among organizations on the future supply and consumption. Many predict that as the supply becomes more expensive, we will use energy conservation to reduce the demand. However, as the standard of living improves in many countries, in particular India and China, the demand for fossil fuels has increased. There is disagreement as to the role of alternative fuels will have in the future. Some predict that the demand for fossil fuels will decline as alternative fuels offer a more economical option. The related link is excellent in describing the predicted peak then decline of fossil fuels. You may find many links on the internet. Also, several recent books have been written about the period of "peak" and "decline" periods in fossil fuel supply.

How does the use of synthetic products such as plastic increase the use of fossil fuels?

The production of synthetic products like plastic requires fossil fuels as a raw material, typically derived from oil and natural gas. These fossil fuels are used in the extraction, processing, and manufacturing stages of plastic production, leading to an increased overall demand for fossil fuels. Additionally, the transportation of plastic products also relies on fossil fuels, further contributing to the reliance on these non-renewable resources.
