The main causes of excess carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are:
- Deforestation, the destruction of the world's forests, and
- The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
The first means that CO2 is no longer removed from the atmosphere, and the second adds more of that greenhouse gas to the mix.

What will happen if deforestaton continues to destroy the green plants on the planet?
The excess CO2 in the atmosphere will increase global warming. (APEX)
How has co2 effected climate change?
CO2 has affected climate change, by thickening the atmosphere - this causes more radiation emitted by the sun to become trapped within the atmosphere, instead of reflecting back into space.
What maintains the balance of CO2 and O2 in the atmosphere?
plants maintain balance of co2 and o2 in the atmosphere..
Is co2 beneficial or harmful?
very beneficial for plants and therefore necessary for animal life; in large amounts in the atmosphere, it causes climate change
The planet Venus has a very thick atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide This thick CO2 atmosphere traps heat and causes higher temperatures on Venus This process is known as the effect?
greenhouse
What is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 desolves easily in it?
The ocean is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 dissolves easily in it.
What are the main constituents of atmosphere?
carbon dioxide or co2
Do cars emit co2?
Yes, infact vehicles are considered to be the main contributor to the Co2 in the atmosphere
What will happen if deforestation continues to the green plants on the plants?
The excess CO2 in the atmosphere will increase global warming.
Main source of carbon dioxide in the ocean?
the atmosphere is the main source of CO2 in the ocean
What will happen if deforestation continues to destroy the green plants on the plants?
The excess CO2 in the atmosphere will increase global warming.
What will happen if deforestaton continues to destroy the green plants on the planet?
The excess CO2 in the atmosphere will increase global warming. (APEX)
Main source of CO2 emission to the atmosphere?
burning fossil fuels to make electricity
How has co2 effected climate change?
CO2 has affected climate change, by thickening the atmosphere - this causes more radiation emitted by the sun to become trapped within the atmosphere, instead of reflecting back into space.
What is an effect of fuel burns?
Co2 is released into the atmosphere and so is sulfur dioxide which causes acid rain
What is an effect of burning fossil fuels?
Co2 is released into the atmosphere and so is sulfur dioxide which causes acid rain
What gas is more important in the heating of the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main gas produced by human activity that is causing the atmosphere to grow warmer.
