When you burn oil and coal, it emits carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) along with different amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO2) depending on where it was mined. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which means emitting it depletes the ozone layer, putting Earth at risk.

Burning oil and coal also releases energy. That is why they are energy sources.
