Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This extra CO2 makes an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming .

How do producers affect the carbon cycle in earths atmosphere?

Producers, such as plants, remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis, converting it into organic carbon. This helps regulate the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. However, deforestation and land-use changes can release stored carbon back into the atmosphere, contributing to an increase in carbon dioxide levels and impacting the carbon cycle.
