Question

how is the increase in demand for energy affecting our environment adversely

Answer 1

India's consumption growth of fossil fuels will be the highest by 2035 and it will overtake China as the largest growth market for energy in volume terms by 2030. Globally, energy demand will increase by about 30% by 2035. Natural gas consumption will grow faster than either oil or coal, expanding at 1.6% a year.

Answer 2

The increased use of fossil fuels has a harsh effect on the environment. A high rate of exploitation of fossil fuels has increased the level of greenhouse gas content in the atmosphere, resulting in global warming and a rise in the sea level. Deforestation is the major cause for all these environmental problems
