Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity (which releases carbon dioxide) man is causing global warming and climate change. This may not damage the earth, but it will certainly harm the people, birds and animals that live here.

How is carbon dioxide consumed on earth?
The earth's carbon cycle moves carbon dioxide in and out of the atmosphere, into oceans, soil, animals and vegetation and back again. The oceans absorb some CO2, but only the surface water.

This carbon is stored within the plant or tree and stays there until the tree is destroyed. About half the weight of a tree is carbon.
