The document discusses the consequences of extracting fossil fuels from natural storage and increasing global resource consumption. Extracting and burning fossil fuels produces around 21.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year, though natural processes can only absorb about half of that, leading to a net increase of 10.65 billion tons annually. Since 1880, global temperatures have risen about 2 degrees Celsius due to the impacts of fossil fuel extraction on the climate. Many scientists estimate that at current consumption levels, all non-renewable resources will be depleted by 2043. The document warns that without changing habits, coping with the future consequences will be difficult.

3. 1. Consequences by extracting fossil fuels….
The three fossil fuel types
are coal, petroleum and natural gas.
The extracting and burning of fossil fuels from the
natural storage produces around 21.3
billion tones(21.3 gigatonnes) of carbon dioxide per
year, but it is estimated that natural processes can
only absorb about half of that amount, so there is a
net increase of 10.65 billion tones of atmospheric
carbon dioxide per year.

4. 2. Impact of extraction on climate….
As the extraction of natural resources can cause
dangerous effects for the environment, this graph
shows that since the year 1880 till 2000 how the
temperature has been rising by about 2 degree
centigrade in passing time.

5. 3. world’ level of resource/ energy
consumption….
This graph shows the consumption level of the resources of the
world. According to this graph, many scientists have said if the
consumption keeps on increasing then till about 2043 all the
resources which cannot be renewed will last.
And as we know that these exhaustible resources would not be
there for the future so it is necessary that we should only shift
are habit frequently otherwise it very difficult for us to cope
with the future situation………………………..

6. Global Warming due to energy
resources
 Evidence that the earth is already getting warmer is quite
convincing – even to relatively conservative scientists.The
planet’s temperature is set to rise by 3 to 4 degrees by the
year 2100 if current practices continue, which will melt some
of the ice caps and cause the sea to rise between 30 and 110
cm – enough to drown out several islands (such as some of
the Maldives) and flood some areas in the Netherlands,
Bangladesh and Egypt.
 The main cause of the problem is energy use.You probably
use electric energy throughout the house for cooking,
heating,TV and use fuel in cars.You might not realize that
generating energy burns huge amounts of coal, which
releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Petrol use and
production also releases much carbon dioxide (CO2).

12. Facts
 The Aral Sea, in Central Asia, used to be the fourth largest
lake in the world, after the Caspian Sea, and Lakes
Superior and Victoria. Now barely 10% of it is left.
 Steadily, over the past 40 years, around 60,000 sq km of
water, in places 40m deep, has evaporated into thin air.
 The last two decades of the 20th century have been hottest
in the last 400 years, according to climate studies.
 The Arctic is one of the worst places to be effected
by global warming.
 The Arctic ice is melting rapidly. By 2040 the region is
expected to have a completely ice free summer, or even
earlier.

13.  By year 2100, the average temperature will rise by 5.8
degrees as a result of global warming.
 Each year of the 21st century ranks amongst 14 hottest years
since 1880.
 In the last 30 years, the average consumption of fossil fuel by
United States has been 80%. Fossil fuels are the most
dangerous contributors to global warming.
 It is estimated that within 100 years there will be
no rainforests.
 One and a half acres of forest is cut down every second.
 The rate of deforestation equals to loss of 20 football fields
every minute.
