Much of the world's energy comes from material formed hundreds of millions of years ago, and there are environmental consequences for it.
Fossil fuelsare one of the most important sources of energy in today’s world. It is providing for almost 80% of the world’s energy needs. This huge dependency of the world on fossil fuels is very important to study because fossil fuels have a finite supply and are the unsustainable reso...
The threat of global warming, environmental instibality and the possible use of green or carbon taxes on fossil fuels has increased the need for energy efficiency. Energy Conservation is now recognised as one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways of limiting or reducing CO2 emissions. Larg...
The aim of this research was to find important predictors of the prices for the three selected fossil fuels, i.e., crude oil, natural gas and thermal coal. The period since 2004 was analyzed, basing on the monthly data. The methodology was based on various data-rich models, which had ...

In addition, nitrogen dioxide stands out as a very reactive pollutant generated mostly through the combustion of fossil fuels, with traffic pollution being the primary source (He et al 2020a, 2020b). It is linked to a 6.94% rise in daily COVID-19 confirmed case numbers in 120 Chinese ...
The international community must act immediately to ensure that all countries reduce the consumption of fossil fuels (e.g. gas and oil). To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at leas...
There is sufficient scientific evidence to indicate that global warming is due to the rise of atmospheric CO2 resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (Pacala & Socolow, 2004)?. This is one of several significant environmental issues facing every human. We also need to address the degradation...
Next, we compare assessed knowledge and tax acceptability between two subsamples of respondents: those who did and did not receive information about how the carbon tax works. The results are shown in Fig.3. The information explained that the carbon tax is a charge on fossil fuels in proportion...
India's record of sustained growth since 1980 is second only to China's among large economies, so much so that, in discussions about global economic prospects generally or about global demand for natural resources (including, most important, fossil fuels), the impact of Chinese and Indian ...
