In this article we will focus on the use of fossil fuels that cause climate change. Fossil fuels are fuels made from natural resources such as coal, oil and natural gas, which are the most widely used fuels and industrial chemicals in the world. Since the industrial revolution, fossil fuels have brought a huge amount of practical and technological products. So we can use cars, airplanes and all modern products. But fossil fuels cause climate change at the same time. Greenhouse gases, nitrogen oxides and a large amount of harmful gases from fossil fuels cause serious environmental problems. Therefore we must worry about the problems caused by fossil fuels and their solutions. From the era of industrial civilization man has entered. Our humans are finding more and more fuels to support the growing demand. When we enjoy the convenience offered by fossil fuels, we should at the same time think about climate change caused by fossil fuels. “Global temperatures have increased by about 0.6°C over the past 100 years, and 1998 was the warmest year among the 142-year global instrumental record.” (Hulme et al. 2002) Fossil fuels were created to release energy; meanwhile they produce carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, greenhouse gases, oil spills and so on. In 1952 the photochemical smog event in London had taken the lives of over 4000 people. Many extremely serious events have had bad influences on human life. We must therefore take action to address a range of issues, in order to protect the environment and ourselves. Carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases cause global warming which causes climate anomalies, rising sea levels and the Nino phenomenon. “Global warming will 'come sooner and be stronger'. A new analysis has shown that carbon...... center of paper ......yVCzdRsC&oi=fnd&pg=PA1&dq=An+explosion+occurred+on+the+semi-submersible+offshore+plant+ drilling+deepwater+horizon+ in+the+Gulf+of+Mexico,+killing+11+plant+workers+and+injuring+17+others.+INGO+oil+in+the+Gulf.+This+sign&ots=9CYFuidufR&sig=ZNHfi_sKTDQ -Ck4sWP6BtvrdTxY#v =onepage&q&f=falseHumburg, S. et al (1997) Common questions about climate change.
