Fossil Fuels - There are coal, crude oils, oil shales, tar sands and natural gases such as butane, ethane, methane which occur naturally from the decomposition of plant and sea and land organisms over millions of years. Burning fossil fuels is the major way in which humans add to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) gives us the energy for vehicles and machines with engines to move. However, it also produces carbon dioxide as an emission. Tâ¦his carbon has been hidden away underground for 300 million years, so releasing it now is causing global warming and climate change.
