Burning Fossil Fuels and Climate Change | Environmental Chemistry | FuseSchool

NOTE at 1:27 The pre-industrial percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is 0.028% not 0.28

Learn the basics about climate change and how burning fossil fuels adds extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, and how this then leads to climate change.

Fossil fuels, like oil, coal and natural gas, are the remains of living things from millions of years ago. They are mainly composed of carbon with varying amounts of hydrogen. When the petrol burns, it joins with oxygen to build up hydrogen oxide and carbon dioxide.
