No. Burning fossil fuels are not good. They produce several pollutants. The burning of these fuels are bad for the warming of the planet. MANY of the pollution issues are well known and should be replaced when technology becomes available.
__________________________________________________
The burning of fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal, releases Carbon Dioxide (abbreviated as CO2) which is a greenhouse gas and known to increase the earth's global temperature.
Over the past 120 years (more or less coinciding with the Industrial Revolution), the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by 100 ppm (parts per millions) which is a drastic increase when taking into account that during the past 15 to 20 million years, such increases happened over long periods of time, between 5,000 and 20,000 years.

What else can I help you with?
Is solar energy a good alternative to fossil fuels?
Yes, solar energy is a good alternative to fossil fuels because it is renewable, environmentally friendly, and can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Is CO2 good?
If you mean CO2--carbon dioxide--it is a natural part of Earth's environment. We can not breath it, but plants need it to survive. It can be used to extinguish fires. However, the increasing amount of CO2 in the admosphere (mostly from burning coal and petroleum products) is causing a problem of climate change.
What is good about fission?
Very powerful source of energy, very small amount replaces many tons of fossil fuels.
How do fossil fuels burn?
Fossil fuels include oil, gas, coal, and all other products that are derived from fossil fuels and used as an energy source. Fossil fuels release energy when they are burned. Take your car for example. You put gas in your car, and your engine burns the fuel and converts the potential energy of the fossil fuel into heat energy, and the heat energy into kenetic energy, and your car goes. Although pg&e is now using some renewable energy sources as well, the majority of our electricity comes from fossil fuels. The fossil fuel is burned, and the energy that is released is converted into electromagnetic energy, another word for electricity. A simpler example is gas, like the gas that is used in a gas stove. The gas is a fossil fuel, and it is burned. When it is burned it releases heat and light.
Why are hybrid vehicles good for the earth?
Hybrids probably have a very slight negative impact when compared to automobiles of similar size. They are far more complicated machines which will cost in terms of dollars and pollution. They are going to cost more to maintain and will probably not last as long this increasing their pollution footprint. The hybrids shine in that they get about 10% (or more) better mileage then their non hybrid counterparts. This does reduce dependence on fossil fuels at the site of the automobile and increases the dependence on fuels at other places. The two main points for buying a hybrid include "feeling good" about the environmental impact and a decrease in dependence in foreign oil. As far as environment, at best they are neutral.
What statement about fossils fuels is not true?
Fossil fuels are clean burning and will not be bad for the environment. We will never run out of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are good for our health. These are a few that are not true about fossil fuels.
Are any good gases produced when burning fossil fuels?
Not really. Burning fossil fuels releases mainly carbon dioxide. In small quantities this is useful in keeping the earth warm. However carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is not part of the carbon cycle, but extra gas which has been safely sequestered under the ground for millions of years.
What is good about burning fossil fuel?
The good thing is that is produces a lot of energy that can be utilized in a proper manner to give great output.But fossil fuels are depleting now hence its bad to use fossil fuels.
Is alternative energy good for the earth?
yes it is good because it means that we save energy and fossil fuels.
Why should fossil fuels not be wasted?
Fossil fuels should not be wasted because they are finite resources that take millions of years to form. Burning fossil fuels also contributes to air pollution and climate change, leading to negative environmental and health impacts. It is important to use fossil fuels efficiently and transition to more sustainable energy sources to mitigate these effects.
How is recycling like fossil fuels?
Recycling and fossil fuels are both related to the concept of sustainability and resource management. While fossil fuels are non-renewable resources that can deplete over time, recycling promotes the reuse of materials to reduce waste and conserve resources. Both have environmental impacts, with recycling typically being more environmentally friendly than relying on fossil fuels for energy production.
What are the enviromental effects of using ethanol methanol and propanol as a fuel?
Ethanol, methanol and proponal are all alcohol based fuels. These fuels are good for the environment because they are slower burning fuels, which make it easier to gain energy from. These fuels also do not need fossil fuels to be created, they can be derived from water and carbon dioxide.
What percentage of cars runs on fossil fuels?
a good 95%
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 solar energy a good alternative to fossil fuels?
Yes, solar energy is a good alternative to fossil fuels because it is renewable, environmentally friendly, and can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Do Buddhists use electricity from fossil fuel?
Yes. At least countries with a high Buddhist population generate energy by burning fossil fuels. China is a good example. It uses natural gas, oil and coal in generating heat and electricity.
What is a reason for not using fossil fuels?
1. using fossil fuels may be a contributor to global warming 2. mining fossil fuels is harmful to the environment 3. our supply of fossil fuels is limited therefore the price for them will go up as fossil fuels run out 4. sometime in the future society will have to transfer to an alternative energy supply, (i.e. renewable energy, nuclear, hydrogen) so using alternative fuels now can help the transition so we can be completely weaned off of fossil fuels once they run out. 5. buying oil from the Middle East is funding their terrorist activity 6. the pollution caused by burning fossil fuels obviously isn't good for people to breath and is causing many health problems
