Chiefly carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are primarily carbon. When burned, this carbon combines with atmospheric oxygen to form CO2.
CO2 is a heat trapping gas which lingers for centuries, and human consumption of fossil fuel now liberates over 20 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year.

What issues are involved with fossil fuels?
They're a limited resource that'll eventually run out and using them releases pollution and green house gasses..
What are the advantages and disadvanteges of fossil fuels?
it is a green house gas so that is a disadvantage .
What gasses can be produced from fosssil fuels?
green house gasses are produced like carbon dioxide which is the most common one produced by cars
Environmental consequence of using fossil fuels?
Burning fossil fuels releases CO2, carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. CO2 is a green house gas that traps the heat of the sun in our atmosphere
What can you do to stop green house gases?
To reduce greenhouse gases, you can decrease your carbon footprint by using energy-efficient appliances, driving less or carpooling, using public transportation, eating a plant-based diet, and supporting renewable energy sources like solar or wind power. Additionally, advocating for policies that support clean energy and conservation efforts can also help address the issue.
Why are fossil fuels significant?
well you see that most of the fossil fuels are used so we can use cars and other green house gas stuff so if we loose it we need to find another sores
Why are fossil fuels so significant?
well you see that most of the fossil fuels are used so we can use cars and other green house gas stuff so if we loose it we need to find another sores
What are humans doing to add to the green house gas effect?
burning fossil fuels, chopping down trees and generally killing the environment
Nations built nuclear electricity-generating plants because?
Because we need more and more energy and because many countries haven't fossil fuels as coal, oil, methane gas. Also the fossil fuels are a source of pollution and green house effect.
What is the emission of green house gases by consuming electricity and fuel?
Man produces about 0.28% of all green house gas and this is due to these activities. Most electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels. When these fuels are burnt, either for electricity or transport they release carbon dioxide which adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
What are two green house gasses?
Methane and carbondioxide.
Do green house gases weaken the ozone?
Yes they do, green house gases are caused by burning fossil fuels, coal and oil. These gases then 'attack' the onzone layer which creates 'holes' in the atmosphere which allows dangerous and harmful radiation into the atmosphere.
