Human exploration for fossil fuel

Everyone is dependent on fossil fuels for transportation, heating, cooling, building materials, packaging materials and most every other aspect of daily life. burning fossil fuel releases greenhouse gases which cause global warming, also extraction of these fuels alter the environment. Burning fossil fuels is one of many contributors to climate change. A 70% reduction in fossil fuel consumption would lead to a reduction of just under a quarter (24.1%) of man made global warming. Its time now in life to move to Eco-Enlightenment, moving to Eco-enlightened energy sources, and living in balance with our surrounding ecosystems - wetlands, woodlands, wildlife, other humans and the earth as a whole. By doing this it will help with a balanced future.

What is Natural Gas?

The main ingredient in natural gas is methane, it's composed of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. Natural Gas is formed over time, the sand and silt changed to rock, covered the organic material, and trapped it beneath the rock.  Pressure and heat changed some of this organic material into coal, some into oil and some into natural gas tiny bubbles of odorless gas.
