What is a bad side effect of burning fossil fuels for energy?

Burning fossil fuels creates greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which is contributing to Global Warming. Fossil fuels are a great source of energy, but cause many side effects and they are nonrenewable. Other bad side effects could be the retrieval of fossil fuels which can cause harm to the environment. Everybody saw the terrible aftermath of the BP oil spill a few years ago, problems such as this caused a massive destruction of habitat for 1000s of animals. In the UK, extraction of Gas has caused minor earthquakes which has also damaged the local environment. Basically, fossil fuels are great for energy, but are terrible for the environment.
