I'm guessing some of that Hydrogen was formerly bounded to oxygen as water before it got tied with the carbon to form the fossil fuel. For all the global warming do-gooders water is also a by-product of burning ethanol, it's just the cycle is a little shorter the plant uptook water, released the oxygen as part of photosynthesis and bound the Hydrogen to the carbon to form the sugars or starches that were later fermented into alcohol.
I have a BS from a big ten university, but I wouldn't call my self a scientist, heck I don't even play one on TV. So my moderately educated guess would be it was water thousands of years ago, it got separated into Hydrogen and Oxygen with the Oxygen released into the atmosphere and the Hydrogen combined with carbon and parked in coal, petroleum or even wood, when we burn it we break the chemical bonds between the Hydrogen and Carbon, this is an exothermic reaction (gives off heat) as a result of this reaction hydrogen is combined oxygen to form water, carbon is combined with oxygen to form CO2 or CO (Carbon dioxide or Carbon Monoxide). In the Carbon circle plants uptake nutrients and absorb sunlight in doing so they uptake CO2 and H2O and attach the carbon and Hydrogen together to form plant material (corn, soy beans, wood) while releasing oxygen to the environment.
I am a non-believer in Global Warming or Climate Change or what ever they call it in 5 years from now, unless we pass a truth in advertising law and call it a power grab. One of the basic concepts of science is that of equilibrium and buffers. What many of the global warming theories don't account for is the earth's response to increased temperatures, the earth's various ecosystems will respond by doing things like putting increased water vapor into the air, which will make air harder to heat or cool and make more water available for plant growth, both in plants we would use for food and plants like trees and non edible vegetation that will store the carbon more long term until we release it (using as fuel) or it dies and decays with the decay process further storing the carbon in other forms.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Tractor Lovers Dream About - by Angus Crawford. The day started at five o'clock on the morning of Friday, the January 29, 1999. My father, my sister, my uncle, my cousin and myself all climbed into my uncle's Toyota van. It was six thirty in the morning and we had a long day ahead. We traveled for six and a half hours to our destination - a little country town with a population of no more then one hundred and fifty people (57 of them being children under the age of thirteen). We arrived hoping to meet up with a man we knew had over one
