Best Answer

At first, people burnt small quantities of coal or coke in their fireplaces for warmth.

The consumption of fossil fuels is really by means such as burning coal or oil to generate electricity, or using oil products as automotive fuels. This releases carbon dioxide, additional to the natural carbon cycle, and contributes to global warming.
