The burning of fossil fuels releases gases like carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and pollution. Global warming is the rise in average temperatures due to the greenhouse effect, where gases like carbon dioxide absorb and emit infrared radiation, trapping heat in the lower atmosphere. Excessive use of fossil fuels can cause health issues such as different types of cancer, asthma, and memory loss due to the pollutants released.

2.  The burning of fossil fuels releases various
gases such as sulphur dioxide , carbon
monoxide , carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere which leads to global warming,
pollution of the air ,water and land.

3.  Some harmful effects are –
◦ Global warming
◦ Greenhouse effect
◦ Deathly diseases

4.  Global warming is the rise in the average
temperature of Earth's atmosphere and
oceans since the late 19th century and its
projected continuation
 It is caused by greenhouse
effect

5.  The greenhouse effect is the process by
which absorption and emission of infrared ra
diation by gases in the atmosphere warm
a planet's lower atmosphere and surface.

6.  The greenhouse effect is a process by which
thermal radiation from a planetary surface is
absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases,
and is re-radiated in all directions. Since part
of this re-radiation is back towards the
surface and the lower atmosphere, it results
in an elevation of the average surface
temperature above what it would be in the
absence of the gases

7. A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in
an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within
the thermal infrared range. This process is the
fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. The primary
greenhouse gases in the
Earth's atmosphere are
water vapor, carbon
dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide, and
ozone. In the Solar
System, the atmospheres
of Venus, Mars, and Titan
also contain gases that
cause greenhouse effects

8.  Some diseases caused by excessive use of
fossil fuels are-
◦ Cancer
 Lungs
 Brain
 Blood
◦ Asthama
◦ Memory loss
