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.
Fossil fuels are burnt on a huge scale. The Release of Particles. The burning of fossil fuels releases particles into the air. These particles (sometimes called particulates) contain mainly carbon atoms and come from unburnt hydrocarbons.The particles are a pollutant and health hazard which cause breathing problems for people who suffer from asthma.louds reflect some of the Sun's energy back into space. An increase in the rate of cloud formation also has a cooling effect. The cooling effect from particles in the atmosphere is small compared to the effect of global warming from burning fossil fuels.
