Fossil fuels are formed from plant and animal fossils that are millions of years old. Misuse of fossil fuels can lead to serious consequences. Some of them are-
1. fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy and won’t be available once they are fully used. They limited and depleting at a faster rate.
2. due to increase in population the use of fossil fuels has also increased drastically.
3.over-consumption lead to serious environmental issues like air pollution. They release carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide etc.
4.over use leads to decrease in the quantity of fossil fuels which results in price rise.

What Are the Disadvantages of Fossil Fuels?
1. Fossil fuels are a finite resource.
It takes a certain amount of time for the fossilization process to occur on our planet. This means fossil fuels are a finite resource. Once they are harvested, they cannot be replaced in the lifetime of anyone living right now according to our current knowledge. It takes millions of years and specific conditions to replace a fossil fuel. That’s a very different effort compared to the energy released in a daily sunrise.
2. Fossil fuels are often cheap because of subsidies.
Many governments tend to subsidize the price of fossil fuels instead of letting the free market govern what they tend to be. Businesses that operate within the fossil fuel industry also receive subsidies so that they can continue providing energy products to consumers at reasonable costs. US Government incentives for fossil fuels are typically $4 billion or more annually. In comparison, renewable energy resources like solar may receive about $1 billion annually.
