Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
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.
Burning of fuels is a chemical process.
This depends on what you are burning, but in general, you are consuming oxygen (from the atmosphere) and whatever the fuel is (wood, candle wax, gasoline, whatever) and you are producing carbon dioxide, water vapor, and "soot", which is primarily carbon with other elements that will vary by the fuels being consumed.
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.

Bcoz burning of fossil fuels releases poisonous fuels which are harmful to human health....;)
Burnable fuels are inexpensive & abundant.
burning fossil fuels is bad for cats because it makes them fall from places they are :P
Both burning wood and burning fossil fuels release similar pollutants like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter because the combustion process involves breaking down carbon-containing molecules in the presence of oxygen, leading to the production of these byproducts. The chemical composition of wood and fossil fuels is similar in terms of carbon content, which contributes to the generation of these common pollutants.
Burning too much fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, leading to an increase in global temperatures and contributing to climate change. It also results in air pollution, which can harm human health and the environment. Additionally, the extraction, transportation, and combustion of fossil fuels can have negative impacts on ecosystems and wildlife.
Yes, burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to global warming. This can disrupt the water cycle by altering precipitation patterns, increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, and causing changes in evaporation rates.
Burning fossil fuels contributes to climate change and are nonrenewable.
There are many disadvantages of burning fuels such as the release of chemicals into the atmosphere. This release is harmful and causes holes in the ozone.
The enviromental problem caused by burning fossil fuels is air pollution.Global warming
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.
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. It also produces air pollutants that can harm human health and the environment. Additionally, the extraction and transportation of fossil fuels can have negative impacts on ecosystems and communities.
