Coal, petroleum and natural gas are fossil fuels formed from ancient organic matter. Their combustion combines carbon with oxygen and releases substantial carbon dioxide. This added CO₂ strengthens the greenhouse effect. Rainwater, sea salt and soil are not fuels and cannot produce comparable combustion emissions.
