The extraction of non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels and minerals, has significant environmental impacts. The increased demand for these resources due to a growing global population has led to intensified extraction efforts, resulting in habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the finite nature of these resources means that as the population continues to grow, competition for these resources will increase, potentially leading to conflicts and geopolitical tensions. Additionally, the reliance on non-renewable resources also contributes to climate change, which further exacerbates its impact on the environment and human populations.
