co2 creates a green house effect that warms up the Earth by trapping in heat. Yes this green house effect has increased the earths temperature little bit in the past million years or so, but in our lifetime we wont see any dramatic changes.

Is CO2 good or bad for us?

CO2 is not really if mixed with oxygen When you in a enclosed space when breath too much CO2 its harder for you to breath but thus Yes CO2 can be bad for you if you breath it in too much


How does too much CO2 in the atmosphere effect the climate?

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.


How can CO2 removal help the envirement?

Too much CO2 makes the Earth warm up. On Venus the atmosphere is 93% CO2 and the temperature is 400-500 degrees.


When a carbon atom enters the atmosphere it turns into what?

it should still be carbon, but too much carbon is bad for the atmosphere. Google: "Carbon in atmoshpere" and see why it's bad


Is to much carbon dioxide in the air good or bad for the global climate Explain?

Too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air is bad for the global climate. Elevated CO2 levels contribute to the greenhouse effect, trapping heat in the atmosphere and leading to global warming. This results in severe weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems. Overall, excessive CO2 exacerbates climate change and its associated negative impacts on the environment and human societies.


Can you eliminate carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?

When there is enough vegetation and a balanced amount of CO2 being put in the atmosphere, there will be a perfect balance. CO2 is necessary in our atmosphere but just like anything else, too much of anything is not good. Vegetation (plants) use CO2 for the process of Photosynthesis (the production os starches and sugars) and emit Oxygen as a by product. You just cannot eliminate CO2, just like Nitrogen, it is a gas that is essential to mankind's survival.


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.


Do we have too much CO2 in the atmosphere?

Yes, current levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are considered too high, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. As of 2023, CO2 concentrations exceed 400 parts per million, which is significantly higher than pre-industrial levels of about 280 ppm. This excess CO2 contributes to global warming and climate change, leading to various environmental impacts. Reducing CO2 emissions is crucial for mitigating these effects and promoting a healthier planet.


Carbon dioxide is it good or bad?

CO2 is a natural gas, formed millions of years ago. Since about the 18th century people have been burning fossil fuels, emitting more nad more CO2. The more CO2, the more greenhouse gas. To answer your question, it depends what you're talking about. For the environment, too much is bad.Well, carbon dioxide is both good and bad. Carbon dioxide for humans is bad because to much of it for us can be fatal and lead to suffocation. But, it is good for plants.


Which natural process does not release CO2 into the atmosphere?

Photosynthesis does not.A:The photosynthesis process in vegetation, plants and trees does release CO2. Not only that, it also captures it again from the atmosphere. The photosynthesis process is part of a larger natural process called the Carbon Cycle. In this cycle, oceans release and capture CO2 too.


What will happen to the ozone layer when you destroy rainforests?

rainforests absorb CO2, so there is a possibility that more CO2 would end up in the upper atmosphere. there is also the possibility of increased heat radiation from the surface due to the land reflecting more heat than the forest. as already discussed elsewhere, more CO2 in the atmosphere is either a good or bad thing depending if you are a climate change alarmist or denier. personally I think too much has been made of the downsides of CO2 and am not convinced by the IPCC, nor Al Gore, who stands to make far too much money for this campaign to be altruistic. we must not confuse looking after our planet and caring for our environment with climate change, they are very different things.


Why is it a problem to have too much co2 in the lunar module?

It is a HUGE deal to have too much co2 in the Lunar Module, because co2 is carbon dioxide. All organisms -except plants- breath oxygen. If you have too much carbon dioxide, and not enough air, you will suffocate to death!
