It is possible, however, to explode substances that do not contain carbon, such as pure hydrogen (the very famous Hindenburg disaster in 1937 is a classic example of a very big hydrogen gas explosion -- see the Web Links to the left of this answer for more about that and an impressive video -- skip ahead to 3:30 min to see the explosion!). An explosion of hydrogen produces only water vapor (H2O), NOT carbon dioxide (CO2). SO2, sulfur dioxide, is also commonly Ford when sulfur is burned instead of carbon. Azide salts like NaN3 are commonly used to explosively inflate car airbags. On detonation, they decompose to the elemental metal. This is a favourable transition due to a positive change and the formation of highly stable free nitrogen gas.
Also, nuclear (both fusion and fission) themselves do not produce carbon dioxide, although they may cause surrounding objects to incinerate, which would release carbon dioxide.
See the Web Links to the left of this answer for some impressive videos of different types of explosions, including ones that do and don't produce CO2 emissions!
Another product of what is known as incomplete combustion is COCO, or carbon monoxide, can be formed when there is not enough combustion for carbon dioxide, and is extremely poisonous to humans. It is another potential product of an explosion, which is essentially combustion.Being hydrocarbons, they produce water and carbon dioxide when burnt in air.
The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to name but a couple of gasses.
Yes, it is true !
Carbon Dioxide (chemical formula: CO2), contributes to the Greenhouse Effect when burnt. Try burning something and if the substance you have burnt turns black it contains Carbon Dioxide.
Almost all fuels produce carbon dioxide when burnt, but only fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas actually add to the amount of carbon dioxide naturally present in the atmosphere.

The role of fossil fuels in the carbon cycle is to produce carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are considered to be the highest contributors to pollution of the environment.
Yes, it is true !
Because trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.

Non-renewable energy mostly comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). When anything is burnt it emits carbon dioxide, but when fossil fuels are burnt they release carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for many millions of years. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere causing global warming.
