∙ 10y agoroughly 11% of CO2 in the atmosphere is contributable to humans' use of fossil fuel. The largest contributor to atmospheric CO2 is biomass degradation from rotting vegetation in rain forests and jungles. CO2 in the atmosphere amounts to only a fraction of 0.1% of the atmosphere, which is primarily Nitrogen (~79%) and Oxygen (~21%).

Why is the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide less than the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning of fossil fuels?
Because trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
Which sector has the highest CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustions?
Coal has more carbon dioxide emissions than either oil or natural gas.
When humans burn fossil fuels which will increase?
Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change.
Which fossil fuel can be made to burn cleaner and reduce carbon dioxide emissions if it is combined with purified oxygen?
I dont know :P
Why is there an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
burning fossil fuels
World's carbon dioxide emission from the use of the fossil fuel 2002?
The worlds carbon dioxide emissions from the use of fossil fuels has decreased since 2002. The United States has had the largest decrease in carbon dioxide emissions.

What advantage does solar energy have over fossil fuels?
Solar energy emits no carbon dioxide emissions. It is free and renewable.
What are the waste products formed from burning fuel?
Burning fossil fuels like gasoline has emissions of carbon dioxide and water.
What is the thermal equation for coal?
You think probably to capture and storage of carbon dioxide emissions from coal and other fossil fuels.
How do biofuels lower carbon emissions?
The steady increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere come from our use of fossil fuels. If we were able to stop using fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would stop rising. Biofuels are a partial answer, because by using biofuels you are reducing our use of fossil fuels.
Which fossil fuel can be made to burn cleaner and reduce carbon dioxide emissions if it is combined with purified oxygen?
I dont know :P
Do hybrid cars emit carbon dioxide?
Yes. if they are whole or even partly driven using fossil fuel then they create emissions
What causes global warming apart from vehicle emissions?
Yes, global warming is caused by carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles, but also by deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, and the generation of electricity, which all releases carbon dioxide.
Which source is better hydroelectricity or natural gas?
Hydroelectricity is better because it releases no carbon dioxide emissions to cause global warming. Natural gas is the cleanest of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), but it is still responsible for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
