Detailed Solution

The above statement is False. The environmental effects of using fossil fuels are as follows:
●       Fossil fuels are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.
●       The extraction of conventional fuels may affect the ecological balance of the earth.
●       These fuels cause environmental pollution.
Steps to minimise pollution are:
●       Switching to alternate sources of energy can minimise the dependency on fossil fuels.
●       The reasonable use of energy by avoiding wastage can minimise environmental problems. Servicing energy conversion devices is a must to maintain their efficiency.
●       We should focus on developing technologies that could make energy conversion devices much more efficient and cleaner.
Therefore, the correct statement would be that there are environmental consequences to using fossil fuels.
