Fossil fuels, even when burned perfectly (natural gas, or methane, burns the best) release carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas thought to be involved in dangerous global warming. Most fossil fuels also release smoke (leading to smog), and they may also release sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides which contribute to acid rain.
