- Climate change negatively impacts ecosystems globally.
- This leads to species extinction and reduced food production, exacerbating world hunger.
- Combustion of fossil fuels creates sulfuric and nitric acids, causing acid rain.
- Fossil fuels contain radioactive materials (uranium and thorium) released into the atmosphere.
- Offshore oil drilling endangers aquatic life.
- Fossil fuel wells release methane through fugitive emissions.
- Coal transport sometimes uses diesel locomotives, and oil transport uses tanker ships, consuming more fossil fuels.
- Energy prices significantly impact global inflation, affecting most economic sectors.
