• According to an interactive graphic created by The Guardian, the world has collected more than 99 billion barrels of oil, roughly 25 billion tonnes of coal, and more than 10.6 trillion cubic metres of natural gas since the beginning of 2015.
• Fossil fuels will continue to meet the great majority of the world's energy needs for the foreseeable future.
• However, there are other issues linked with fossil fuels. By releasing carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, burning fossil fuels quickly warms the globe and acidifies the oceans.
• Air pollution is also caused by the burning of fossil fuels, which kills an estimated 6.5 million people each year.
