Verified step by step guidance

Identify the main environmental issues associated with the burning of fossil fuels. These include global warming, acid rain, and air pollution.

Understand that global warming is primarily caused by the release of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), from burning fossil fuels. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to an increase in Earth's average temperature.

Recognize that acid rain is caused by the emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) during fossil fuel combustion. These gases react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form sulfuric and nitric acids, which fall as acid rain.

Note that ozone layer depletion is not directly caused by fossil fuel burning. It is primarily due to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances.

Understand that deforestation is not directly caused by fossil fuel burning, but rather by land use changes and agricultural practices. However, fossil fuel use can contribute to deforestation indirectly through climate change impacts.
