What has caused Carbon Dioxide levels to steadily increase since the 1800s?
The burning of fossil fuels (coal & oil) is the primary cause of the increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
The increase in carbon dioxide in your atmosphere over the last 150 years was caused primarily by what?
Burning fossil fuels.
What did Charles David Keeling discover by measuring carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Charles David Keeling discovered that: - the concentration of carbon dioxide in atmosphere has an important seasonal variation - after 1960 he discovered that the concentration of carbon dioxide in atmosphere increase year after year, caused very probable by anthropogenic activities
How did Hurricane Katrina affect the atmosphere?
caused disfunction in the carbon dioxide cycle
How does cows increase the level of carbon dioxide?
Cows, and cattle rearing, have a carbon footprint, but it's caused mostly from the amount of methane they belch. They don't do much to increase carbon dioxide levels.

An increase in the average level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is most likely caused by an increase in the?
Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Scientists who are concerned about increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere believe global warming is caused by?
... the burning of fossil fuels, which is adding extra carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
How did Hurricane Katrina affect the atmosphere?
caused disfunction in the carbon dioxide cycle
What compound has caused an increase in global temperature?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Why has deforestation caused carbon dioxide levels to rise?
The burnt trees are no longer available to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
How does cows increase the level of carbon dioxide?
Cows, and cattle rearing, have a carbon footprint, but it's caused mostly from the amount of methane they belch. They don't do much to increase carbon dioxide levels.
How does the process of photosynthesis affect carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere during a typical year?
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide as a raw material where carbon dioxide is fixed into organic molecules. This process lowers the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The seasonal fluctuation of carbon dioxide levels during a year may be caused by increased photosynthesis during spring and summer.
Some scientistis hypothesize that cutting down trees is adding to global warming which may be caused by the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere why might this be?
Cutting trees can cause global warming. Trees absorb carbon dioxide that is causing our greenhouse effect to get stronger.
