What human activities create carbon dioxide and how can emissions be reduced?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
The human activity of burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, is releasing carbon dioxide (CO2).
Emissions can be reduced by changing to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen) instead of coal, oil and gas.

What are some predicted environmental damages if carbon dioxide emissions are not reduced?
Carbon dioxide is a gas most present in the greenhouse gases. If carbon dioxide emissions aren't reduced, they will continue to live on in the atmosphere destroying the ozone layer and resulting in detrimental climate changes.
How might a gas tax reduce carbon dioxide emissions?
higher prices means people will drive less, and when people drive less carbon dioxide emissions are reduced.
What is being reduced that can absorb carbon dioxide?
As more forest is being reduced that can absorb carbon dioxide.
Are carbon dioxide emissions bad?
I'm certain someone will debate me for this, but global climate change has been attributed largely to carbon dioxide emissions.
How does sprawl increase carbon dioxide emissions?
Urban sprawl creates and increases carbon dioxide emissions via more vehicles on the roads. More people means more transportation needed. More vehicles on the road creates more carbon dioxide emissions.

Why do environmentalists believe that carbon dioxide emissions have increased?
At this time we are seeing rapid industrialization in China and India; conservation measures in the western world have not come close to offsetting the increased emissions from developing economies. Carbon dioxide emissions have increased.
