Carbon Dioxide
as decay,carbon is released in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Burning is often incomplete, in which case there is carbon monoxide as well as carbon dioxide. Burning also releases heat. Carbon is seldom burned in a chemically pure form. Impurities are released in the form of ash, or other gases such as sulfur dioxide.
Carbon makes up a large portion of the earth. 50% of a tree is carbon. When we burn just about anything the carbon is released in the form of carbon dioxide and water is often released as waste. A good example of this is petroleum, or gasoline. Complete combustion, or burning, when driving a car, releases carbon dioxide (CO2) and water.
Many things contribute to Carbon dioxide being released. Cars, animals, burning fossil fuels, etc.
If energy is obtained from fossil fuels (by burning petroleum (oil), or carbon), then that will increase the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is generally believed to increase the average temperature on Earth.
Carcoal is pure carbon. Burning 12 grams gives 44 grams of carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is the product of organic materials (and carbon) burning or is released in the thermal decomposition of carbonates, fermentation etc.
