Environmental Impact of Fossil Fuels - GCSE Physics

🦊 In this GCSE Physics video, we explain that burning fossil fuels releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere. While biofuels also produce CO2, they are considered carbon neutral because the carbon released was recently absorbed by plants. Additionally, burning coal releases sulfur dioxide, which can lead to acid rain, harming plants and degrading buildings, highlighting the environmental impacts of various fuel sources.
