1. Burning coal and oil release green house gases including Co2. This is bad because the green house effect is the reason venus is hotter than mercury. 2. Coal and oil are fossilised fuels, it takes millions of years to obtain more, we will run out relatvely soon if we continue to consuke at this rate.
Do cooking fuels contribute to the green house effect?

We need to use fossils fuels judicially for the following reasons: To preserve them for future generation as these resources are limited in nature. These take millions of years to form again like coal, petrol. The indiscriminate use of fossil fuels like coal , petrol degrades our environment causing water, air pollution and green house effect.
Environment problems caused by burning coal to generate electricity?
Burning coal produces CO2 which enhances the green house effect by adding to the green house gases. Overall it causes global warming as more of the suns radiation is being reflected back to earth thus warming up earth

using vehicles as transportation, polluting wastes on land and in oceans, forest fires, burning coal and oil, electricity generation, agricultural and industrial practices
Why is it better to obtain energy from natural gas instead of coal and oil?
Produces fewer green house gases
What do you call a house in which coal is stored?
