Answer 1

short answer
A bad idea, since

(i) they produce CO2 (partly responsible for the rise in global warming),

(ii) there is a limited amount of fossil fuel from which we make valuable materials such as lubricants and plastics,

(iii) fossil fuel resources are finite, so burning them means we are consuming a resource we can never replace, and

(iv) we can actually build new industries and create many new jobs developing renewable sources of energy instead of burning fossil fuels.

Answer 3

Fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas.

They are called fossil fuels because, like fossils, they were formed a long time ago. Oil for example is a fossil fuel, it was formed millions of years ago as dead animals and plants died they formed a layer of dead stuff. Over time this "Dead Stuff" had rock covered over it and consequently was put under lots of pressure, this caused it to turn into oil.
