Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), when burnt, emit carbon dioxide, which is classed as a pollutant when it is released into the other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide from fossil fuels has been hidden away for hundreds of millions of years. Releasing it now is adding more to the levels of greenhouse gases causing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
