According to Wikipedia's List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions the US emits 5,838,381,000 metric tonnes annually, which is 19.91% of the global total (Figures from 2007).
Do you mean just the form of carbon in the atmosphere, or every where? If you mean in the atmosphere it's Carbon Dioxide, but if you mean everywhere it's in limestone, trees, the ocean, and other places. Sorry if this doesn't help ya.
Yes, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been increasing annually due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This increase in carbon dioxide is a significant driver of global climate change.
The more carbon dioxide the hotter the planet gets. The hotter the planet gets the more wild fires happen. For every fire that occurs more carbon dioxide is released.
Sucks up the carbon doixide. Carbon dioxide is every animal's breath and heats up the atmosphere.
every gas that is not nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and neon
Yes, because every person has a carbon footprint, some larger than others. So, as populations increase, so do carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide in 2014 made up 0.04% of the atmosphere. This figure is rising every year.
Nowadays in the world there is a lot of Carbon dioxide gas and not every country can fix it how can we make easier way to reduce the carbon dioxide in atmosphere?
Plants and all kinds of vegetation, including grass, trees and rain forests absorb carbon dioxide and store it. About half the weight of a tree is carbon. Trees can store carbon for hundreds of years. Animals, including man, breathe out carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon is also released from soil, oceans and from rotting vegetation. This is all part of the natural carbon cycle.One animal, man, adds a lot of extra carbon dioxide every day by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).If there were no trees or plants to remove carbon dioxide, and no animals to breathe out CO2, and no man to burn fossil fuels, the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere would probably rise very slowly.
There is the natural carbon cycle, in which animals exhale carbon dioxide, but plants absorb the gas and use it to build their cells, which are of course consumed by the animals. Death and rotting are also part of this long-term cycle. However this does not add new carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, and concentrations remained relatively constant in the range 260 to 280 parts per million (ppm) prior to the start of the Industrial Age.Relatively small amounts of new carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere by volcanic eruptions.Anthropogenic additions of new carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels and manufacturing cement.Deforestation releases into the atmosphere carbon dioxide that is not strictly from 'new' carbon but which was stored in the forests for many thousands of years, thereby adding to the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide.A:After plants go through photosynthesis and when they die and decay, it comes back up into the atmosphere. By animals, the carbon is released by the animal dying and decaying into the soil, and also carbon goes into the atmosphere from the body of the dead animal..Carbon dioxide is released into the air by doing simple every-day activities, such as using a dishwasher or a microwave, using air conditioning, or even turning on a light. The biggest producers of carbon dioxide are cars. In the US alone cars released 314 million metric tons in 2004. Carbon dioxide is also released into the air when plants or animals die. Bacteria, fungi, and other decomposers break down their parts, and release carbon dioxide into the air.
"Carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere by a variety of natural sources, and over 95% of total CO2 emissions would occur even if humans were not present on Earth. For example, the natural decay of organic material in forests and grasslands, such as dead trees, results in the release of about 220 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide every year. This carbon dioxide alone is over 8 times the amount emitted by humans. These natural sources are balanced by natural sinks, which remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.The increase in carbon dioxide concentration arises because the increase from human activity is not balanced by a corresponding sink."
If combustion is complete (which it usually is not) you will get a carbon dioxide molecule for every carbon atom or for every oxygen molecule depending on which runs out first.
