Detailed explanation-1: -When fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere, causing global warming. Already the average global temperature has increased by 1C.
Detailed explanation-2: -Factories negatively impact the environment through air pollutant emissions, toxic waste disposal and water contamination. Besides, they’re also the major offenders when it comes to greenhouse gas contributions. Factories alone are responsible for nearly two-thirds of the emissions to blame for global climate change.
Detailed explanation-3: -Harmful effects of burning fossil fuels are: They cause Air Pollution. They cause Global Warming. They are Exhaustible Natural Resources (available in limited amounts)
Detailed explanation-4: -But burning them creates climate change and releases pollutants that lead to early death, heart attacks, respiratory disorders, stroke, asthma, and absenteeism at school and work. It has also been linked to autism spectrum disorder and Alzheimer’s disease.
