The effects of being dependent of fossil fuels is that people still use fossil fuels for almost anything. It is used to make plastics, give electrical power to homes, food transportation, and people going to work or school, and many more. This happens every day. According to the EPA “The primary human activity affecting the amount and rate of climate change is greenhouse gas emissions from burning of fossil fuels”. This means that the reasons why global warming is continuing is because we still keep using the same methods for our energy sources and that is fossil fuels. What also causes this global warming is that some factories or companies don’t care for the pollution they make until laws are put in place.
The united states uses a large amount of fossil fuels like oil and coal. Oil usage in one day in 2010 was 19.2 million barrels. Most of the oil comes from Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Nigeria. All of this is being burned and release to the air and makes are planet warmer. According to the EPA recent climate change can be contributed to carbon dioxide which goes to the atmosphere and is very concentrated.
The health of people has also been impacted for the use of fossil fuels. In china some cities have really bad air full of different pollutants from their factories. People in china wall around with a face mask filter. This has also damage a part of their economy were highways close, flights don’t take off, and fewer tourists. The air is just filled with smog. The Chinese government promise there people to put stricter laws but it is said that no sign of progression has been made.
