Global warming.
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.
Global warming.
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, contributing to global warming and climate change. Fossil fuel combustion releases air pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which can lead to smog, acid rain, and respiratory issues.
The main pollutant created from the burning of fossil fuels is carbon dioxide (CO2). This greenhouse gas is a major contributor to global climate change and is released when fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are burned for energy.
One major problem caused by using fossil fuels is air pollution. The burning of fossil fuels releases harmful pollutants into the air, leading to smog, respiratory issues, and other health problems for humans and wildlife.
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.
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.
burning fossil fuels is bad for cats because it makes them fall from places they are :P
Men return this to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity. The problem here is that the release is triggering global warming.
