Coal, the most carbon-dense fossil fuel, is converted into fuel for traditional combustion engines. Consequently, the carbon dioxide released insulates the earth, increasing global temperatures. As a consequence, food chains are altered, adverse weather events destroy habitats, and invasive species can thrive. Ultimately, 10,967 species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species are impacted…
