Human civilisation has long enjoyed the economic benefits from using fossil fuels to power economies dating back to the industrial revolution. The continued use of those non-renewable energy resources are beginning to have a detrimental effect on the environment as numerous scientific studies have shown irrefutable mounting evidence linking carbon emissions to rising global temperatures.
