∙ 10y agoToo much of it is!
It's part of the natural cycle of life, and keeps the earth warm enough for life.
However, deforestation and burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has released more of it into the air than there used to be, and that is contributing to global warming.

∙ 7y agoEvery living thing in your environment is built up of carbon - you, flowers, kittens, hamburgs, candy - so you might suppose it is good for the environment. The fact that the same holds true for mosquitos, poison ivy, man eating tigers, piranhas might convince you otherwise.In an environment there is no good or bad there just is "is". Whether or not you fit into that environment and find it good or bad is beside the point.
