up a variety of ways of producing renewable energy to replace the use of non-renewable energy. Fuel that has taken millions of years to create from the decomposition of the plant and animal matter is known as fossil fuel. What we call oil‚ coal and natural gases are fossil fuels and they are made up of hydrocarbons. When hydrocarbons are burned‚ it releases energy which we use as heat or fuel to power equipment. Oil and gas are trapped in rock structures formed by tectonic plate movements

and consequently climate changing. Global warming is the result of human actions. The atmosphere is changing‚ and the ozone layer is under the threat from chemicals that people use on the earth. The amount of using fossil fuels‚ such as oil‚ gas‚ coal‚ and deforestation produces carbon dioxide. The global warming‚ as a result of man- made pollution‚ will increase not only temperature‚ but will change all life conditions.

Two of these are the Clean Air Acts and the increased use of solar power over coal power. By creating electric cars‚ the pollution caused by gasoline powered cars will be lessened. If the pollution is not stopped‚ it will cause life on earth as we know it to cease. Air pollution causes a number of health and ecological problems. It causes health problems like cancer‚ emphysema‚ and asthma. It also causes the depletion of the ozone layer which results in global warming and melting of the ice caps

THE DEPLETION OF FOSSIL FUELS By Zoe Noonan Introduction As the world is becoming more advanced in technology‚ more energy is being used to keep up with the changing requirements. At the current rate at which energy is being used‚ the world will shortly come to an end of fossil fuels- the world’s primary energy resource. Abstract This research paper outlines the problems being faced by the shortage of fossil fuels‚ the effects they are having on the environment and the possible substitutes

Chemistry at Work: CO2 and the Greenhouse Effect Greenhouse gases and global warming have received increasing attention in recent years. The identification of the ozone hole in 1985 combined with unusual fluctuations in global temperatures have combined to capture the eye of the global media. Recent scientific study and analysis of the greenhouse gases has added to this interest. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have an important influence on the climate of our planet.
