The impact of fossil fuels

Fossil Fuels Ylaria Valadez September 15, 2021


Fossil fuels are a nature fuel like coal or gas that are made from decomposing plants and animal. They are found in the crust of the Earth and contain carbon and hydrogen which are then burned for energy. There are many disadvantages of fossil fuels, land degradation, water pollution, and emissions. Land degradation unearths, processing and moving underground oil, coal and gas. Water pollution threatens waterways and ground water. Fossil fuels emit harmful air pollutants even before they are burned. Major progress has been made toward setting up renewable energy and energy efficiency. Not only is energy efficiency the cleanest, cheapest and largest energy resource it can also make up to 2.2 million new jobs in the U.S.

    Fossil fuels are something that we need but can affect the globe.i believe that there could be many alternatives to them. However, these resources are very limited, and we should stop the consume of these and start using More renewable and cleaner forms of energy resources

    I enjoyed reading your article because it informed me on effects that fossil fuels are causing. After reading your article It hit me how much the United States has depended so heavily on Fossil fuels for over 100 years and because of those 100 years the effects of the fossil fuels are know catching up to us.

SABIC resins reduces the weight from things such as dashboards to tailgates by as high as 40% which makes it to where vehicles can go farther. The technology world is trying to convince everyone to convert to electric vehicles. They depend on batteries that charge faster, run longer, and are also more efficient.

Want to go on a cruise ship, think again

Image
              As well as a lot of other people, I enjoy a nice relaxing day on the water. Some people decide to take a weeks worth of days on the water. Including a boat, food, and entertainment. Cruise ships are some what of a luxury with the fancy dinners every night. Swimming pools and massive halls for shows and people to perform. Not to forget some even have places to throw cards and gamble. In recent study’s, cruise ships are found to be a major contributor to the growth of on water environmental pollution and degradation. This is also due to the ever so increasing amount of people taking cruises along with the industry booming in the way that it did. The recent popularity before COVID-19 had researchers interested. So they did a few study’s and found out the information above. Other dangers that cruise ships might present is potential danger to passengers/staff physical and mental health including land-based residents who live close to the port.  Some crazy things that happen wh

Ocean Fish Stock by Aaron Hoffman

  The worlds ocean fish stock is on the verge of collapsing. T he  International Union for Conservation of Nature , Jared Ferrie reports that the oceans have absorbed more than 93 percent of the heat generated by human activity since the 1970s, primarily through its large surface area, volume, and low albedo. Last year, the ocean was its warmest in 136 years of records. The increase in temperature has led to new toxic organisms and algae bloom that poison fish. Many specials are leaving their natural habitats in search of cooler areas. Since fish are leaving their natural habitat it causes a lot of problems for the fish in the habitat they move to. Food starts to dwindle down quicker that it should and the people that eat fish can search for fish in that area but cast find any if the fish leave. People are also overfishing and causing species to decline.   https://youtu.be/AHI-B-4c2NU  https://www.newsecuritybeat.org/2017/02/ocean-fish-stocks-on-verge-collapse-irin-report/
