In pollution.
United States, more than 90% of
greenhouse gas emissions come from the
combustion of fossil fuels.
Combustion of fossil fuels also produces other air
pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide,
volatile organic compounds and heavy metals;
generates sulfuric, carbonic, and nitric acids,
which fall to Earth as acid rain.
Fossil fuels also contain radioactive materials,
mainly uranium Fig:

Oil Spill:
The oil penetrates and opens up the structure of the
plumage of birds, reducing its insulating ability, and
so making the birds more vulnerable to temperature
fluctuations and much less buoyant in the water.
It also impairs birds' flight abilities, making it difficult
or impossible to forage and escape from predators.
Most birds affected by an oil spill die unless there is
human intervention
Oil coats the fur of Sea otters and seals, reducing its
insulation abilities and leading to body temperature
fluctuations and hypothermia.
Spills take months or even years to clean up.
