How do fossil fuels release energy?
fossil fuels are oxidized by the combustion process. This chemical process releases high quantities of heat. 14,560 btu/lb for carbon which is oxidized to carbon dioxide. 62,000 btu/lb for hydrogen to water and 4050 btu/lb for sulfur to sulfur dioxide. These are comparable to 8081 cal/g, 34,414 cal/g, and 2248 cal/g respectively.

How does the use of non-renewable resources affect the environment?
It is not the natural resources by themselves that harm the Earth's environment - it is what humans do with the natural resources that cause the problems to the environment and to the health of living things, including other human beings. The burning of fossil fuels in factories to make products and power, and the fuels used by trucks, automobiles and jet planes and homes have caused acid rain and a great increase in carbon dioxide and pollution in the atmosphere. Forests have been destroyed which used to absorb carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide traps heat in our lower atmosphere. Scientists believe that human activities such as these have led to global warming.
