Of the three main fossil fuels, coal is the most carbon-intensive, followed by oil and then natural gas. In other words, each unit of heat produced by burning coal results in more carbon dioxide being added to the atmosphere.
But, carbon dioxide is hardly the worst environmental issue we have. Coal also has many actual pollutants in it besides the CO2 issue that are directly and measurably bad for our environment. Sulfur compounds, which do actual harm to life on the planet also emit from the burning of coal. These along with the soot also form global dimming and cooling issues in addition to the health issues associated with sulfur compounds. Mercury is also found in coal, which makes it a very poor choice for fuel without serious filtering equipment being employed at the burn site. Coal pretty much wins the bad fuel choice award.

Is rocket fuel a fossil fuel?
Yes it is a fossil fuel.
this fossil fuel provides about 40% of the world energy?
in its early stages this fossil fuel is a spongy brown material
What is the worst fossil fuel?
Coal is often considered the worst fossil fuel due to its high carbon intensity, causing significant greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution when burned. Coal mining also has negative environmental impacts such as deforestation, habitat destruction, and water pollution.
Is granite a fossil fuel?
No, granite is not a fossil fuel. Granite is a type of igneous rock formed from the cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface. Fossil fuels, on the other hand, are hydrocarbons derived from the remains of ancient organisms.
Is nuclear power a fossil fuel?
No, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of living organisms over millions of years, while nuclear power is generated by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission.

How do you benefit from waterfalls instead of depending on fossil fuel?
Fossil Fuels "pollute" the air when depending on waterfalls doesnt to anything to the environment.

unsafe cause it lets out greenhouse gases
Does aircraft fuel pollute the environment?

How people changed their environment in Bulgaria?
by excess cutting of trees, dam building, fossil fuel etc damaging and poluting environment
Is solar a fossil fuel?
No its not a fossil fuel
How can you burn fossil fuels in a way that you good for the environment?
You cant, once fossil fuels is burned, the atoms in the fuel is split and produces greenhouse gases
Is oil a fossil fuel or a nuclear fuel?
Oil is a fossil fuel.
Is fossil fuel cheap?
Fossil fuel is cheap
Is coal a fossil fuel or a nuclear fuel?
Fossil
What are the consequences of the fossil fuel?
Hurts the environment, and cars that use fossil fuels generally have more problems than electric. Also more expensive to fill
