Any fuel when mixed with oxygen present in air will burn (react) with a uge fire (energy) forming carbon dioxide and water (main products) but also other, sometimes nasty and polluting (toxic), byproducts.
burnable fuels are unexpensive and abundant
It must have been by accident. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. This fusion can only occur at temperatures that do not naturally occur with the burning of wood or the burning of fossil fuels. The high temperatures are typically created with the introduction of relatively high volumes of air. Also the iron must be very pure.
The fuel used for the torch has varied. Early torches used solid or liquid fuels, including olive oil. For a particularly bright display, pyrotechnic compounds and even burning metals have been used. Since the Munich Games of 1972, most torches have instead used a liquefied gas such as propylene or a propane/butane mixture.
The connection between global warming and the Industrial Revolution is that the Industrial Revolution led to a significant increase in the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. This increased use of fossil fuels released large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to the enhanced greenhouse effect and subsequent global warming. The Industrial Revolution marked the beginning of the anthropogenic contribution to climate change.
The practice of burning books is as old as the written word. Ancient rulers smashed stone tablets and defaced previous rulers statues as a way to eliminate the previous rulers influence.
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
The general equation for burning/combusting fossil fuels is:- fossil fuel + oxygen(air) = Carbon dioxide and Water.

Carbon dioxide
For coal is carbon burning:C + O2 = CO2
oxidation
The word equation for a candle burning in the air is: Wax + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light + Heat.
Combustion is the term given to burning a fuel, very often fossil fuels.
C + o2 -----------> co2
c + o2 -----------> co2
