CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere will make the climate hotter because it acts like a 'greenhouse' or blanket as it insulates heat in the atmosphere. CO2 allows heat to pass into the atmosphere but it doesn't allow heat to pass out into space. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere would trap the heat in the atmosphere, causing climate change.

What is the correlation of CO2 and temperature?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. The more CO2 in the atmosphere, the more greenhouse effect we will get. The greenhouse effect is when our atmosphere reflects heat trying to leave Earth back to it. We need some of this heat back, but if we get too much of the greenhouse effect, global temperatures will keep rising higher and higher.
What would make the greenhouse effect stronger?
increasing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
Which would make the greenhouse effect stronger?
Increasing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
Describe the green house effect and it's effect on the earth's climate?
Certain gases present in the atmosphere like CO2 ,CH4 absorb the sun's heat and keep the planet warm this is known as greenhouse effect It increases the temperature of the earth it keeps the earth warm during night
How much CO2 is put in the atmosphere each year?
100,000,000
Why is this CO2 release a concern?
Because carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases are building up in the atmosphere. This is accelerating the natural greenhouse effect, causing global warming and climate change.

Will increased co2 levels cause climate to cool?
No, in fact, the opposite will happen. Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere are producing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
How are CO2 and H2O maintained in the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect,
How has co2 effected climate change?
CO2 has affected climate change, by thickening the atmosphere - this causes more radiation emitted by the sun to become trapped within the atmosphere, instead of reflecting back into space.
Is mars' climate colder than the earth's?
yes. It is farther from the sun than the Earth and it's atmosphere does not contain enough CO2 , like Venus, to have a "Greenhouse Effect".
How are emimmions from gas affecting are climate?
The greenhouse effect is where gasses (water vapor, CO2) trapping heat in the atmosphere. More gas emissions means more CO2 could lead to the conclusion that the temperature will get warmer However this has yet to be proven and we are not sure that CO2 is the cause of the climate change. (There are other competing theories involving the sun cycles)
Why is the surface temperature on venues so much higher than that on earth?
Venus' atmosphere consists mainly of Co2 (Carbon dioxide), while Earth's atmosphere is Co2 and oxygen. Co2 is much denser than oxygen, so it holds more heat from the sunlight. This trapping of heat by gases is known as the "greenhouse effect", and while we are experiencing a small amount of it on Earth, Venus has a higher concentration of Co2, making the effect MUCH more severe. The effect is also more severe because Venus is closer to the sun.
How would the atmosphere become a greenhouse?
by CO2 filling up our atmosphere. Venus has the same greenhouse effect.
How do humans effect earths natural cycles?
with co2 and gassed rissing into the atmosphere
What would make the greenhouse effect stronger?
increasing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
Which would make the greenhouse effect stronger?
Increasing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
