Answer:

Fossil fuels release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which increases levels of carbon dioxide and other gases, trapping heat, and contributing to global climate change. This means that coal does release greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, into the atmosphere.

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Coal is an important source of energy in the United States, and the Nation's reliance on this fossil fuel for electricity generation is growing. The combustion of coal, however, adds a significant amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere per unit of heat energy, more than does the combustion of other fossil fuels
