BURNING FOSSIL FUELS

By Joel J

WHAT IS THE ISSUE?

My issue is burning fossil fuels.

fossil fuels can be found in your

energy at home.

when its burned and released into the

air it turns into carbon dioxide.

Fossil fuels come from plants and

trees.

HOW DOES THE ISSUE RELATE TO WEATHER?

By changing the proportion of carbon

dioxide in the atmosphere, the use of

fossil fuels can change the way the heat

is absorbed .

When fossil fuels are used, small

amount of radioactive materials are

also released into the atmosphere.

HOW DOES THE ISSUE RELATE TO

CLIMATE CHANGE?Burning the fossil fuels will produce some

greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and

nitrous oxide.

The more carbon dioxide there is, the

atmosphere can absorb more heat from solar

radiation and earth surface radiation.

Carbon dioxide traps the heat from sunlight

WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE THAT THIS ISSUE EXISTS?

Within the last 30 years, burning fossil fuels has

been the major reason for all the change in

temperature in the atmosphere.

84% of fossil fuels are found in the energy

around the U .S .

WHO OR WHAT DOES THE ISSUE AFFECT THE MOST?

90 % of the worlds electricity demand is generated from

the use of fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels can form acid rains.

WHY SHOULD WE CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE?

Oil and coals are known as fossil fuels.

Burning fossil fuel pollutes the air

Burning fossil fuels causes the earths climate to

heat up.

WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE?

Decrease the amount of carbon dioxide that is being

released into the air.

Reduce the amount of fossil fuels being burned.
