look down
Explanation:
From a corrected combustion of fossil fuels you obtain water and carbon dioxide.
Both are molecules that cause global warming for greenhouse effect, because they absorb Infrared radiation (issued from the earth) while they let through the visible radiations coming by the sun.
Moreover , unfortunately, the fossil fuels don't contain only hydrogen and carbon, but aslo others elements like Sulfur (that ,burning up, gives sulfur dioxide), Azote (that ,burning up, gives nitric oxides) and other element that, burning, cause acid rains.
A bad combustion finally gives carbon monoxide, dangerous in enclosed places, and particulate matter, much greater in quantity the largest is the fuel burnt molecule. The particulate matter promotes the formation of fog
