Some people think the best way to solve global environmental problems is to increase the cost of fuel. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some consider raising

fuel

prices as the most effective method to resolve global environmental issues. In my opinion, I firmly disagree with

this

argument as it has the potential to disrupt world

economy

and global peace severely.

To begin

households, but

slows down the overall growth of the

economy

.

For instance

, in developing countries, it is often observed that whenever the petrol price jumps up, the economic growth jumps down.

Moreover

, increasing the

fuel

cost not just disturbs the

economy

, it can promote instability as well. When people are unable to afford the basic necessities, they get frustrated.

This

often leads to protest and sometimes these protests are converted into violent demonstrations, which not only results in the loss of public property, but

also

human lives.

For example

, in recent days, a protest against oil prices increase in Iran spread across the country which compelled the authorities to contain it by force and restricting mobile and internet services in the affected areas. In conclusion, I think that without any alternative options for

fuel

, increasing the

fuel

prices is not the solution to the global environmental issues, but a trigger to affect the world

economy

and global peace and stability.
