Expert Answer
Since coal and petroleum have been formed from biomass (plant and animal material), therefore, in addition to carbon and hydrogen, they also contain nitrogen and sulphur elements. Carbon dioxide gas produced on burning coal and petroleum leads to global warming.
If combustion of fossil fuels takes place in an insufficient supply of air (or oxygen), then some carbon monoxide is also produced along with carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide etc.
