Detailed explanation-1: -Increase in greenhouse gas emissions The increase in consumption of coal and petroleum is one of the major reason for an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which has further added to the rising temperature. The greenhouse gasses also destroy the ozone layer of the earth’s atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -Human activities are responsible for almost all of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the last 150 years. The largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities in the United States is from burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Three of the major environmental problems caused by commercial energy use are the result of burning fossil fuels: namely, air pollution, acid rain, and the greenhouse effect, in increasing order of seriousness.
Detailed explanation-4: -Global warming pollution When we burn oil, coal, and gas, we don’t just meet our energy needs-we drive the current global warming crisis as well. Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change.
