Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is causing global warming and climate change.
Combustion is the term given to burning a fuel, very often fossil fuels.
Burning fossil fuels results in the combustion of hydrocarbons, releasing carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The general chemical equation for burning a hydrocarbon fuel is hydrocarbon + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy.
No. Petrol is cleaner than coal, but it is not the cleanest. Natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
carbon dioxide and water vapor are the two gases in the correct and complete combustion of any fossil fuel. Other byproduct can occur if the process is not perfect. Carbon Monoxide is one of the chief gases from incomplete burning. Many other gases can be released during the burning process that are not an actual part of the combustion. They vary depending on the fuel.
The chemical energy in fossil fuels is released through combustion, which involves burning the fuel in the presence of oxygen to produce heat, light, and various byproducts such as carbon dioxide and water.

Carbon dioxide
Wood is a fuel as it can provide energy by burning. But, it is not formed by fossils and hence not called a fossil fuel.
Natual gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.
Pollution.

That is the byproduct from burning fossil fuel.
it destroys habitats
In no way at all is burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) helpful to wildlife.

People are burning fossil fuel quicker than it's naturally made
