Carbon dioxide is very important to the climate. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, so it contributes to keeping our earth warm enough for life. It is part of the process of photosynthesis, where vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, stores the carbon and releases the oxygen. This is part of the carbon cycle.
An excess of carbon dioxide, which is what is happening now, means that the extra greenhouse gases capture more of the sun's heat which would normally escape into space. This extra warmth is causing global warming, that is, warming all over the word. Global warming is causing climate change.

How does burning fossil fuels affect the weather?
Burning fossil fuels adds carbon dioxide to a balanced carbon cycle, so this means it is all extra greenhouse gas. This will not affect the weather, but it will affect the climate. We see weather from day to day, so one hot day or one cold day does not signal climate change. Climate change needs decades probably to become clear.
How does carbon dioxide affect the hydrosphere?

How can the release of carbon dioxide as pollution affect Earths climates?
the polluting carbon dioxide can make the earths climates warmer
How is climate change a problem for the carbon cycle?
Global warming means there is extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is putting an extra strain on the carbon cycle, which is unable to remove all the extra carbon dioxide.
Why is the climate currently warming?
the climate is currently changing because of carbon dioxide trapping so much heat in the atmosphere
How does the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect climate?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. If levels of it in the atmosphere are higher than normal, then they trap more heat. This is causing global warming, and the world warming is causing changes in climate.
How carbon dioxide levels may affect climate?
The higher the level the more air is polluted
Do people affect climate?
Our method of transport that burns fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases which pollute the atmosphere and creates global warming which warms up the climate. The production of electricity from burning coal or natural gas is a huge contributor to the over production of carbon dioxide as well. Agriculture also produces carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a natural occurrence but too much carbon dioxide has a negative impact - our planet is warming.
How will clearing the Amazon affect climate change?
The Amazon jungle is huge, containing enough trees to be a significant store of carbon. Clearing these trees is progressively releasing carbon dioxide into the air. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, this contributes to global warming and therefore to climate change.
Does carbon dioxide affect humans?
We exhale carbon dioxide or called CO2
Which increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change?
Any increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change.
How does the carbon cycle affect mangroves?
With carbon dioxide.
Which pollutant has the greatest effect on climate?
Carbon dioxide
Why does it exist climate change in US?
carbon dioxide
Do scientists think people affect climate change?
Yes climate scientists think that people are affecting climate change mostly from carbon emissions (from burning fossil fuels) and because we have destroyed the forests of the world that used to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
How does growing more crops affect level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is decreased.
What could cause climate change?
It is generally accepted that the increasing amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere is the cause of climate change. Many different factors affect the carbon dioxide level, but the burning of fossil fuel (coal, oil, natural gas) seems to be the most important factor.
