Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fossil fuels are linked to environmental damage through the emission of greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change. They are not evenly distributed around the world and do not include wind and solar energy. While natural gas is a fossil fuel, it alone does not make up roughly 50% of global energy needs. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable energy source, as they take millions of years to form.
