Burning coal releases carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and mercury into the atmosphere. These pollutants contribute to air pollution, acid rain, and contribute to climate change.
Burning fossil fuels.
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which increases the concentration of this greenhouse gas. This leads to an enhanced greenhouse effect, trapping heat in the atmosphere and contributing to global warming and climate change.
The process of decay releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
Burning anything releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, as most things are largely made of carbon. Burning vegetation is really part of the carbon cycle, but burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide that has been sequestered underground for 300 million years. This is why carbon dioxide levels are increasing in the atmosphere.
The carbon in fossil fuels is released into the atmosphere through the combustion of these fuels, such as burning coal, oil, or natural gas for energy production. This process releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
Burning fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is building up in the atmosphere.
Burning vegetation adds to the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. However, that carbon dioxide was recently removed from the air when the plants were growing, so burning vegetation is carbon neutral.Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), of course, releases extra carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for 300 million years.
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change. This process also releases pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which can harm human health and the environment.
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)Burning trees (half a tree is carbon)Burning any garbage (most things on earth have large amounts of carbon in them)
No, burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, adding to the overall carbon levels. This is one of the primary contributors to the greenhouse effect and climate change.
