Fossil Fuel Consumption‚ CO2 and Its Impact on Global Climate Background: At the beginning of human history‚ we had to satisfy our energy needs (for food‚ heat and movement) by using our own muscle power and gathering or hunting naturally available plants‚ animals and wood. Each stage in the evolution of human society (the development of farming‚ domestication of animals‚ harnessing of wind and water power) increased the average per capita energy use‚ but it was the Industrial Revolution and the

Energy and Fossil Fuels January 30‚ 2012 I will be covering different types of energy and how they are converted into other forms of energy. I will also discuss what fossil fuels are‚ alternatives to fossil fuels and the advantages and disadvantages of alternatives. There are several different forms of energy and how it can be converted from one type to another. According to The Law of Conservation of Energy; energy can neither be created or destroyed‚ only transferred
