No, termites do not produce more CO2 than human burning of fossil fuels. It is estimated that human burning of fossil fuels is the largest source of CO2 emissions, contributing significantly to climate change. Termites do produce some CO2 as part of their natural digestion process, but it is not on the same scale as human activities.
burning of fossil fuels
Humans have had the greatest impact on climate change by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. This activity adds to the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, creating an enhanced greenhouse effect.
Burning of fossil fuels
Uranium and fossil fuels - or if you like to be clever - fissile fuels and fossil fuels... On the human time scale, fossil fuels are not being replenished. We can manufacture the same chemicals that are found in fossil fuels but we can't create new oil oil, coal and natural gas fields within our lifetimes - or for that matter within our 10,000 times great-grandchildren's lifetimes. Once Uranium has been used (in a fission reactor) it is converted to isotopes of other elements and is not replenished by natural processes.
Fossil fuels are oil and coal. Both of which have to extracted from the earth through drill of wells or by digging of mines. The burning of these fuels pollutes the atmosphere.
Human use of fossil fuels can be detrimental to the environment because burning these fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. Extraction and transportation of fossil fuels can also result in habitat destruction, water pollution, and other forms of environmental degradation.
Bcoz burning of fossil fuels releases poisonous fuels which are harmful to human health....;)
One critical environmental consequence of using fossil fuels is the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, leading to climate change and global warming. This can result in various environmental impacts such as rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, and disruption of ecosystems. Transitioning to cleaner energy sources is essential to mitigate these consequences.
Fossil fuels took millions of years to form. The time scale is such that it is not possible to renew fossil fuels on a human time scale. It is for that reason that they are called non-renewable.

The Burning Of Fossil Fuels!
No, Neanderthals did not use fossil fuels. They lived around 400,000 to 40,000 years ago, long before the use of fossil fuels became prevalent in human society. Neanderthals relied on fire for warmth, cooking, and protection.
Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources because they take millions of years to form and cannot be replenished at the same rate they are being consumed. Once fossil fuels are used, they are depleted and cannot be replaced within a human lifetime.
Yes, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are limited resources because they take millions of years to form. Once they are depleted, they cannot be easily replaced on a human timescale. This is why there is a push towards alternative renewable energy sources.
