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.

How is the carbon cycle related to Climate change?
The carbon cycle moves carbon in and out of the oceans, the land and the atmosphere. It even removes about 40% of the carbon dioxide that burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases. The remaining 60% is building up in the atmosphere and is too much for the carbon cycle to deal with.
What is the climate change term for coldest phase of climate cycle?
Ice age
How does the burning of fossil fuels by humans affect the carbon cycle?
The carbon cycle moves carbon in and out of the atmosphere and has kept a balance there for millions of years. The carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have kept the earth warm. Burning fossil fuel releases CO2 that has been held underground for millennia, so this carbon is an extra burdenon the carbon cycle, and it is not able to remove all the extra CO2.This is how the carbon cycle is being disturbed. This is what is causing global warming and hence 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 will the level of carbon in the atmosphere change if humans do nothing to reduce their impact on the carbon cycle?
If humans continue doing nothing to reduce their impact on the carbon cycle then the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will continue to rise.
Why is the carbon cycle affecting climate change around the world?
because the carbon cycle has affected the ecosystem and makes producers get eaten by consumers
What role does the carbon cycle play in this problem of global climate change?
In the desert, the carbon cycle is a continuous and non-stop process. Plants and the atmosphere exchange carbon. Carbon is released when plants breathe and when organisms die. The cycle starts again when plants use the carbon that has been released.

How are the oceans involved in the carbon cycle?
the oceans influence the climate by absorbing and storing the carbon dioxide

Is Climate change a threat to seasonal cycle?
No, the cycle is driven by the Earths Tilt and Orbit. However the cycle will be modified in its effects by climate changes happening on the Earth.
How does biomass reduce climate change?
Bio-mass (vegetation) is burned in a power plant, usually to produce electricity. This releases the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, but because the gas was recently removed from the atmosphere when the vegetation was growing, the process is part of the carbon cycle, carbon neutral, and does not affect global warming and climate change.Because its burning prevents the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), it helps to reduce climate change.
What is an example of chemical change in nature?
carbon cycle
Why was the greenhouse effect not a problem in the past?
The greenhouse effect has kept the earth warm enough for millions of years. It was not a problem in the past because the carbon cycle kept the amount of carbon dioxide balanced. When we discovered coal in the 18th Century and started burning it, we released extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This has caused the present enhanced greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
