What is a bad side effect of burning fossil fuels for energy?

Burning fossil fuels creates greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which is contributing to Global Warming. Fossil fuels are a great source of energy, but cause many side effects and they are nonrenewable. Other bad side effects could be the retrieval of fossil fuels which can cause harm to the environment. Everybody saw the terrible aftermath of the BP oil spill a few years ago, problems such as this caused a massive destruction of habitat for 1000s of animals. In the UK, extraction of Gas has caused minor earthquakes which has also damaged the local environment. Basically, fossil fuels are great for energy, but are terrible for the environment.


What best describes fossil?

Fossils (from Latin fossus, literally "having been dug up") are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record. Fossil are bones of extinct creatures that are said to live thousands of years ago. A fossil is the ancient remains of animals, plants and other organisms from the distant past. The word is from a Latin word 'fossus' which means 'dug up'.
