Carpooling and mass transit systems can reduce the problem of burning of fossil fuels, but they can't eliminate the problem, as they use fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) themselves. Mass transit systems entirely powered by renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal among others) will eliminate the problem, but most electricity round the world is still generated by burning fossil fuels.
China has fewer pollution controls.
There are many disadvantages of burning fossil fuels. These include pollution and also burning fossil fuels has a mesurable cooling effect on the climate.There are many disadvantages of burning fossil fuels.

Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
The general equation for burning/combusting fossil fuels is:- fossil fuel + oxygen(air) = Carbon dioxide and Water.

There are no disadvantages in burning less fossil fuel, except that the oil company's profits might be less. There is however a big advantage because less carbon dioxide would be created and dumped into the atmosphere.
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas causing global warming.
