Carbon dioxide is known to help keep our planet warm and is a minor contributor to the overall warming of the planet. Current levels are around 0.037% which is questionably up from a 1000 year low in 1850 of 0.028%. This change has been consistent with past records of warming trends. CO2 follows temperature rises by 20 to 800 years. These increases help plant life.

Do the ozone hole increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Indirectly yes. It causes global warming, which increases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What gas causes most scattering in Earth's atmosphere?
Methane is by far the most dangerous to our atmosphere, but it is not realeased in high quanties like Carbon dioxide. In result carbon Dioxide causes most scattering in the atmosphere
Which gas causes an increase in the temperature in the stratosphere?
The answer is carbon dioxide! :)
Does carbon dioxide increase the greenhouse effect?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When we increase its atmospheric concentration, as we do by burning fossil fuels, it causes an enhanced greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.
What causes more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil (as we do to power our vehicles and to produce electricity) releases extra carbon dioxide that has been hidden away underground for millions of years.
Do the ozone hole increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Indirectly yes. It causes global warming, which increases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

What is one possible cause of the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since the mid 19th century?
The answer is human activity! The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere) are the main causes of the increase.
Which gas causes an increase in the temperature in the stratosphere?
The answer is carbon dioxide! :)
Why is the earth experiencing the Greenhouse effect?
When fossil fuels are used, the release carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is trapped in the Earth's atmosphere and that causes the Earth to get hotter.
Why are forests?
Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere from many sources including our breathing. This carbon dioxide is the pollution that causes global warming. Trees naturally absorb carbon dioxide to create energy and therefore stop it from being released into the atmosphere. This is why we need to conserve our forests.
What gas do most scientist believe causes the temperature in the atmosphere to rise?
Carbon dioxide
Hypercapnia causes minute ventilation to?
increase as the minute ventilation is the amount of carbon dioxide
What causes the greenhouse effect How does it affect Earth's atmosphere?
the greenhouse effect causes the earthe's atmosphere to hold in more heat radiation than it should.It is caused by enviromental harmful chemicals entering the atnosphere , like carbon dioxide. This ,in turn causes the global temperature to increase global warming
Does carbon dioxide increase the greenhouse effect?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When we increase its atmospheric concentration, as we do by burning fossil fuels, it causes an enhanced greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.
What causes carbon dioxide?
fossil fuels and breathing causes carbon dioxide :)
Why is Earth's atmosphere rich in nitrogen and carbon dioxide today?
Nitrogen has, since plants and animals have existed, been the majority of gases in our atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide; however, has been increasing in our atmosphere since the industrial revolution. The causes are automobiles, coal-burning power plants and other carbon-emitting activities.
