What relation is there between greenhouse gases and fossil fuels?

Fossil Fuels --> Hydro-Carbon chains formed from decaying organic matter (animal & plants) When you burn fossil fuels the relating output is HEAT + WASTE GASES. The waste gases can be of several type depending on the hydro-carbon. Most common waste gases when you burn fossil fuels are carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Water Vapor, NOx, SOx emissions. Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, Nitrous Oxides are listed as greenhouse gases along with methane & ozone. Greenhouse gases = gases that affect our climate on earth (the listed are the ones that we know will affect us as far as now) So the final relation is burning of fossil fuels increases the amount of green house gases in atmosphere, especially Carbon-Dioxide, Water Vapor & NOx.

Is it better to use fossil fuels such as oil and gas or alternative energy sources such as geothermal and solar energy?

It is better to use alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal among others. They are clean and green with no carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution. Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases which is causing global warming.
