Effects of Fossil Fuels on The Environment
|
|
|
FOSSIL FUELS: ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS It is perhaps ironic that the same forces which are responsible for producing pollution allow us to eliminate it. With industrial development comes prosperity. Industrial development is accompanied, and indeed is made possible, by the exponential growth in energy consumption, which in turn has resulted in air pollution. And prosperity allows us to begin to think about cleaning up the 'mess' that we have made. (Most underdeveloped nations cannot afford to clean up their increasingly polluted environments.) There are two main issues that we need to discuss here: • conventional pollution (acid rain, smog, etc.) • greenhouse effect The former is a major problem now, especially in the industrialized nations and large cities; we know how to solve this problem and there is increasing political determination to solve it.
