Now, to the important facts: There is only one species of cannabis. The Herald-Whig article correctly stated that cannabis sativa is the only species of cannabis. However, the article implies a botanical difference between marijuana and hemp. There is no difference.
Today, fossil fuel industries drill or mine for these energy sources, burn them to produce electricity, or refine them for use as fuel for heating or transportation. Over the past 20 years, nearly three-fourths of human-caused emissions came from the burning of fossil fuels. The Energy Department maintains emergency petroleum reserves, ensures responsible development of Americaâs oil and gas resources and executes natural gas regulatory responsibilities.
Making the world better, one answer at a time. The burning of fossil fuels is bad because it causes carbon dioxide levels to rise in the atmosphere. This extra carbon dioxide adds to the enhanced greenhouse effect causing global warming. This is why burning fossil fuels is bad.ossil fuels are bad for the environment because they create greenhouse gases which go up in to the atmosphere and magnify the suns heat which can cause ice caps to melt then that leads to the sea level rising which causes flooding and if too much ice melts animals in the Arctic could die.
