- releases harmful toxins into the air
- uses up Natural Resources
- can create smog
- When fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas are burned (usually to produce electricity or to power transport) they release extra carbon that has been stored underground for millions of years. The carbon cycle is unable to cope with all this extra carbon, which (in the form of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide) joins all the other gases in our atmosphere and enhances the greenhouse effect, which keeps the earth's heat from escaping into space. This enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect is causing global warming.

People return carbon stored in fossil fuels to the carbon-oxygen cycle by burning what?
By burning the fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are natural fuels such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
How does population affect fossil fuels?
Population affects fossill fuels by people using the fossil fuels
What can people do to make fossil fuel supplies last longer?
We can conserve our energy but cutting how much energy we use in our every day life. Conservation is the best short term solution to fossil fuels and global warming.
How does kaingin system affect the people?
By burning trees..I hope it help
Why should people not plan to use fossil fuels forever?
Burning fossil fuels is causing global warming and climate change, which is threatening the future of the human race unless we can slow it.Fossil fuels won't last for ever.
Why are you losing fossil fuels?
People are burning fossil fuel quicker than it's naturally made
Can burning fossil fuels kill people?
Yes,if large amount of fossil fuel burn and people are not at a safe distance then it can kill people.There are many incidents where people came in contact with burning propane gas and died.

What do people believe about climate changes and global warming?
People believe that man is causing global warming and climate change by burning fossil fuels and cutting down the forests of the world.Other people believe that global warming is a natural event and man is not causing it.Most believe that it is partially a natural issue that man is having some unknown affect on as well. This is where most scientists fall.Other people believe that global warming is not happening at all.
What steps are people taking to reduce their carbon footprints and global warming?
by burning fossil fuels
How does population affect fossil fuels?
Population affects fossill fuels by people using the fossil fuels
what groups of people are worried about global warming caused by burning fossil fuels?
Scientists and governments around the world are worried about global warming caused by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) because of the serious problems it is causing.Oil companies are worried because if we stop burning fossil fuels they will go out of business.
In what ways do people increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
People have thousands of ways to Increase Green House Gas Concentration in Our Atmosphere - but to date not one significant Antidote.The burning of fossil fuels like gasoline and coal and also deforestation, the cutting of trees:Literally by each and every movement that they [continually] make.And by burning fossil fuel (releasing carbon dioxide) and cutting down forests.We burn fossil fuel by using and wasting electricity.We burn fossil fuel by driving around in big cars.And by eating red meat. Demand for hamburgers and other red meat means forests are leveled for pasture. Cattle also emit large quantities of methane (mostly from their mouths). Methane is a greenhouse gas 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.Literally by each and every movement that they [continually] make.And by burning fossil fuel (releasing carbon dioxide) and cutting down forests.We burn fossil fuel by using and wasting electricity.We burn fossil fuel by driving around in big cars.And by eating red meat.
