Changing the way we live Fossil fuels are deeply embedded in our daily lives. They are required for virtually all electrical power and fuel, and industries such as petrochemicals and steel; indeed it is hard to find any modern economic sector that does not need them. Therefore, to demand a decrease in CO2 emissions is asking people to accept a dramatic adjustment to modern life, with a corresponding impact on the economy.
