Using coal, oil, and natural affects the temperature to raise melting ice sheets that makes the level of sea increase. With the ocean rising it will throw human society into chaos. “Also raising of temperature will make the earth uninhabitable causing food production to collapse and life to extinction (Study Predicts Ice Melt if all Fossil Fuels Are Burned).”.

    Human Factor In recent years arctic ice has been melting faster than it can replenish itself. Many climatologists believe the ever increasing volume of melting ice is due to human activity. In this paper I hope to show you how the excess burning of fossil fuels has changed the climate, and therefore plays a part in the melting of arctic ice. Artic ice melts each summer and refreezes each winter, this a natural thaw – freeze cycle, but in recent years this cycle has been greatly affected by global warming

    Alternative Energy Can Effectively Replace Fossil Fuels In the U.S. alone, carbon dioxide emission levels have risen thirty percent since 2005. If the emissions continue to rise at this pace, the temperature of the Earth may rise by at most, thirteen degrees. Temperatures rising to that height could cause chaos across the world. With more and more people burning fossil fuels every day, this unfortunate future is likely to occur. Fortunately, using pollution free alternative energy could alter
