Los combustibles fósiles calefaccionan nuestros hogares. Impulsan a automóviles, camiones y aviones. Pero cada vez que se usan estos combustibles, aumentan las temperaturas de la Tierra. Además, no son renovables, es decir que algún día se agotarán.

Desde el siglo XIX, las personas han estudiado los efectos de quemar combustibles fósiles. En este proceso se liberan gases en el aire que contribuyen al cambio climático. Analiza cómo se han usado los combustibles fósiles y el efecto que tienen en el clima de nuestro planeta.

Fossil fuels heat our homes. They power cars, trucks, and planes. But every use of these fuels adds to rising temperatures on Earth. And they are nonrenewable. Someday, they will run out.

Since the 1800s, people have studied the effects of burning fossil fuels. This process puts gases in the air that contribute to climate change. Examine how fossil fuels have been used and the effect they have on our planet’s climate.
