Yet fossil fuels are finite resources and they can also irreparably harm the environment. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the burning of fossil fuels was responsible for 79 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2010.These gases insulate the planet, and could lead to potentially catastrophic changes in the earthâs climate.echnologies such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) may help reduce the greenhouse gas emissions generated by fossil fuels, and nuclear energy can be a zero-carbon alternative for electricity generation. But other, more sustainable solutions exist: energy efficiency and renewable energy.
The consequences of burning these fossil fuels are dire to say the least, and in this article we will attempt to answer the questions âwhy are fossil fuels bad for human healthâ and âwhy are fossil fuels bad for the environmentâ. The first effect of burning fossil fuels is to the health of our population.his is the gas that is emitted the most when fossil fuels are burned. In fact, the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is now over 25 percent more than it was 150 years ago. Fossil fuels are also responsible for the increase in nitrous oxide and methane levels in the atmosphere.
