Burning fossil fuels (combustion) releases carbon dioxide. As carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, presently contributing to global warming, this is why the world is moving away from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
At some point before the fossil became a fossil, a plant removed carbon from the air (carbon dioxide) and it became part of the plant that became a fossil.
Carbon dioxide (CO2).Carbon Dioxide. (CO2)
u
Methane, Carbon dioxide and Carbon monoxide
No, formation of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide.
fossil fuels and breathing causes carbon dioxide :)
Animal gives Carbon dioxide in air and Plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to make their own food and grow. The carbon becomes part of the plant. Plants that die and are buried may turn into fossil fuels made of carbon like coal and oil over millions of years. When humans burn fossil fuels, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
When you burn fossil fuels to make enrgy, carbon dioxide is released. So, if you burn less fossil fuels, less carbon dioxide is released.
The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by increasing it.

Fossil fuel + Oxygen gas > Carbon dioxide + water + heat (apex)
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
Burning of the fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide.
It increases the carbon dioxide in the oceans. It adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
The worlds carbon dioxide emissions from the use of fossil fuels has decreased since 2002. The United States has had the largest decrease in carbon dioxide emissions.
