These carbon emissions are known to trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to climate change. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels, in particular for the power and transportation sectors, accounts for about three fourth of our total amount of carbon emissions]]> 2022-04-14 17:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/grstokes/iaa3fnpdqnpc42r1/wish/2144190612 grstokes https://padlet.com/grstokes/iaa3fnpdqnpc42r1/wish/2144192322 Are Fossil Fuels really beneficial?
Yes and no. Fossil fuels can be extremely cost friendly and are user effective, but when they are used, they release harmful emissions into the atmosphere. These emissions can cause problems such as global warming, and climate change. ]]> 2022-04-14 17:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/grstokes/iaa3fnpdqnpc42r1/wish/2144192322 grstokes https://padlet.com/grstokes/iaa3fnpdqnpc42r1/wish/2144193682 Fossil fuels produce plenty of energy for our society, because society relies on fossil fuels for transportation and many other forms of electricity. ]]> 2022-04-14 17:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/grstokes/iaa3fnpdqnpc42r1/wish/2144193682 grstokes https://padlet.com/grstokes/iaa3fnpdqnpc42r1/wish/2144196828 Fossil fuels can be a very sustainable resource, up until the point in which it runs out.
