The impact that climate change will have on populations is severe and worsening, and it is largely our fault. Human activity such as burning of fossil fuels, increased population as well as deforestation has caused an increase in gas emissions within the atmosphere, resulting in global warming (NSW Government, 2017). Fossil fuels such as coal, gas, oil, petroleum and liquefied petroleum gas are used in everyday life for transportation, electricity and heating (Origin, n.d.). Worldwide, we use a vast amount of fossils fuels every day. In fact, worldwide, we use around 89 billion barrels of fuel, daily (Origin, n.d.).
