1.9  Future potential Fossil Fuel product emissions

Future potential Fossil Fuel product emissions

The CO2 emissions human’s have created from the use of Oil, Gas and Coal products to date look large…

However, these emissions are very small compared to what we can potentially create in the coming years

We need to quickly correct this CO2 emissions error, and NOT CREATE MORE CO2 EMISSIONS ! 

Conventional = drilled and mined fossil fuel reserves. 

Unconventional = Fracking, Oil Sands, Shale Oil, etc (ie. Generally harder and less efficient to extract)
