Petrol is a fossil fuel, and when we use it in our cars, it releases carbon dioxide which is a powerful greenhouse gas. This extra CO2, which has been stored underground for millions of years, is too much for the normal greenhouse effect to manage, so the CO2 is capturing more of the sun's heat This is the main cause of global warming.
By burning fossil fuels, we are releasing Carbon dioxide into the air. Because so many people are using them, we are creating excess carbon dioxide is slowly warming up our planet hence the term Global Warming. To prevent global warming, we are encouraged to use more renewable sources of energy. Also, fossil fuels will soon run out if we are not careful with our usage.
What else can I help you with?
What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels?
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
what groups of people are worried about global warming caused by burning fossil fuels?
Scientists and governments around the world are worried about global warming caused by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) because of the serious problems it is causing.Oil companies are worried because if we stop burning fossil fuels they will go out of business.
How energy transformed when fossil fuels are used?
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce the same substance?
The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO
Which greenhouse gas has increased as a direct result of burning fossil fuels and deforestation?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the greenhouse gas that has increased as a direct result of burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The burning of fossil fuels releases large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, while deforestation reduces the Earth's capacity to absorb CO2 through trees and vegetation.
What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels?
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
How does the burning fossil fuels increase the greenhouse effects?
by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

Water pollution can occur from burning fossil fuels due to?
Water pollution can occur from burning fossil fuels due to the acid rain. Fossil fuels will pollute the atmosphere which will result into acid rain.
May occur when the burning of fossil fuels releases gaseous nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides into the atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels can lead to pollution in the environment. Although fossil fuels can be useful, the burning of them should be reduced to preserve clean air.
What is another name for burning fossil fuels?
Hydro-carbons is another name for fossil fuels.
