    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel

    The burning of fossil fuels has a number of negative externalities – harmful environmental impacts where the effects extend beyond the people using the fuel. These effects vary between different fuels. All fossil fuels release CO 2 when they burn, thus accelerating climate change.

    Cement production (burning of fossil fuels) (4%) is estimated at 1.42 GtCO 2; Land-use change (LUC) is the imbalance of deforestation and reforestation. Estimations are very uncertain at 4.5 GtCO 2. Wildfires alone cause annual emissions of about 7 GtCO 2 [98] [99] Non-energy use of fuels, carbon losses in coke ovens, and flaring in crude oil ...

    CO 2 emissions primarily come from burning fossil fuels to provide energy for transport, manufacturing, heating, and electricity. [5] Additional CO 2 emissions come from deforestation and industrial processes, which include the CO 2 released by the chemical reactions for making cement, steel, aluminum, and fertilizer.
