The role of fossil fuels in carbon emissions is substantial, as their combustion releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Fossil fuels, including coal, oil, and natural gas, are primary energy sources for electricity, transportation, and industry. Their extensive use contributes to climate change by increasing atmospheric CO2 levels, leading to global warming and its associated impacts. Reducing reliance on fossil fuels is crucial for climate change mitigation efforts.
