Yes. Fossil fuels include coal and petroleum (oil) that were created millions of years ago and were buried under layers of rock that protected them. Burning fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and coal releases stored carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide, when released by burning, increases the amount of heat form sunlight that is retained in the earth's atmosphere and is thought to contribute to global warming.
