Not only that but breathing in this pollution is not good for our health, especially in cities where they have a large number of cars such as Mexico city! But there are still coal fired power stations being built around the world to meet our rising demand for energy to run all of our gadgets! World energy consumption increased by 56% between 1985 and 20091.
The other problem with fossil fuels is that they will soon run out - maybe that’s a good thing. So even if we don’t agree with the idea of human induced climate change or don’t care, we still need to look for alternatives.
