Most "new" CO2 comes from burning fossil fuel (coal) for energy. Automobile exhaust is another large source. While animals exhale CO2, that CO2 tends to be recycled. Volcanoes also belch out CO2, though that is a tiny, tiny fraction of the CO2 liberated by human beings. When carbon is burned, it combines with two molecules of oxygen in the atmosphere, so the weight of CO2 released is about three times the weight of the initial carbon source. Humans currently are pumping roughly 30 billion tons (30,000,000,000 tons) of CO2 into the atmosphere from fossil fuel sources each year. At this rate it is building up faster than the planet can reabsorb it, so the consumption is not considered sustainable.

∙ 12y agoThere is a question as to how much CO2 contributes to global warming that scientists are working on.
The scientists do agree that the increased level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is responsible for most of the global warming that has occurred since the beginning of the Industrial Age.

∙ 14y agoA lot because when you leave the light on you make Co2,so if you think of evey one turning on there lights it makes more and more and MORE!

Is CO2 good or bad for us?
CO2 is not really if mixed with oxygen When you in a enclosed space when breath too much CO2 its harder for you to breath but thus Yes CO2 can be bad for you if you breath it in too much
What atoms make up H2O and CO2?
Carbon and oxygen make up CO2, Oxygen and Hydrogen make up water.
How much CO2 is produced from 1 kg of lpg?
2.6 Kg of CO2
Why does CO2 make tissues acidic what is the chemical reaction involved?
The reaction is:H2O + CO2 = H2CO3
How much co2 is in sunkist?
2 grams
How much CO2 does the manufacturing process for a laptop make?
none
Which companies make CO2 diffusers?
The companies which make CO2 diffusers are Flo which manufactures Flo Centi9 Glass CO2 diffuser, ADA Mini World which manufactures C02 regulator and many more.
How much CO2 does a motorized bike make?
it will need 67 c20
How much C2 does a car produce?
If you are referring to CO2, it depends on what make/model/engine.
How does too much CO2 in the atmosphere effect the climate?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere will make the climate hotter because it acts like a 'greenhouse' or blanket as it insulates heat in the atmosphere. CO2 allows heat to pass into the atmosphere but it doesn't allow heat to pass out into space. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere would trap the heat in the atmosphere, causing climate change.
How do you make a CO2 dragster start?
To start a co2 dragster, you just simply shoot the co2 canister and then the co2 dragster will go.
How much does the co2 sensor affect the performance of the motor?
co2 sensor?

What atoms make up H2O and CO2?
Carbon and oxygen make up CO2, Oxygen and Hydrogen make up water.
What does the carbon footprint mean?
the carbon foot print shows how much co2 was released when the food was traveling around the world.
What elements make CO2?
CO2 is composed of carbon (C) and oxygen (O)
How does C02 travel around the world?
CO2 is in the air and as the air moves so does the CO2 in it.
