Claim: my claim is that the amount of carbon emissions greatly decreased.

Evidence: There are less people which means less cars will be driven less oil will be used etc. also fossil fuels are non renewable resource which means fossil fuels will be harder to find overall diving up prices of gas,heating,etc which might make Deter people from using fossil fuels and switching to something cheaper. At this point to people will dislike fossil fuels more then now.

Reasoning: I think people won’t like fossil fuels for 2 good reasons. First the driven up price. Second there will be noticeable effects from fossil fuels it 2050. It can make crops harder to grow which could lead to famine and a Recession because driven up food prices and it will hurt the economy. Towns will slowly flood. Arctic species will die so on. So a poor family’s that can’t afford food won’t spend more money on something that overall hurts them. They will despise people who use fossil fuels and it will become socially wrong. Civilization at that time might also be working on them self. Population decreased a major amount. Something bad happened. And if what ever caused the decline in population was caused by humans which there’s no way to tell, they might try to improve human habits try not to begin wars, work on helping each other, and most importantly don’t harm there plant.
