In which ways do fossil fuels effect the environment?

Fossil fuels are one of the largest greenhouse gas emitters beside the world, contributing to 3/4 of all carbon, methane and other greenhouse gasses. When we burn coal, petroleum and other fossil fuels at a extremely high temperature this means electricity is made, but then continues on to heavy concentrated pollutants in the atmosphere and to the water we drink.Climate change is partly caused by burning fossil fuels which then effects the world in a uncleanness way even touching the water we have on our planet.

On the right side of this picture you see clean water which is what we have now. But if we still don't try stopping climate change our water has the highest possibility of changing to the water on the left hand side.
