Most of our modern civilisation relies on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). We burn them in transport, industry and to generate electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, that is causing global warming. To stop burning fossil fuels we have to change to renewable energy(solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
What else can I help you with?
What is another name for burning fossil fuels?
Hydro-carbons is another name for fossil fuels.
What is a disadvantage of burning fossil fuels for energy?
One disadvantage of burning fossil fuels for energy is the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, which contributes to climate change. Additionally, extracting and burning fossil fuels can lead to environmental pollution and habitat destruction. Finally, fossil fuels are a non-renewable resource, meaning they will eventually run out.
What are two environmental disadvantage to burning fossil fuels to provide energy?
There are many disadvantages of burning fossil fuels. These include pollution and also burning fossil fuels has a mesurable cooling effect on the climate.There are many disadvantages of burning fossil fuels.

Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce similar pollutants?
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
People return carbon stored in fossil fuels to the carbon-oxygen cycle by burning what?
People return carbon stored in fossil fuels to the carbon-oxygen cycle by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. This combustion process releases carbon dioxide (CO2) back into the atmosphere, where it can be taken up by plants through photosynthesis.
