What is bad about carbon-dioxide getting released into the atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a powerful greenhouse gas. When man releases CO2 into the atmosphere it comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and that carbon has been safely stored underground for millions of years. So this is extra CO2.
The normal carbon cycle, which moves CO2 in and out of the atmosphere, is not able to cope with this extra load, so it stays in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases capture infrared radiation and so the heat warms the earth. More CO2 means more heat, which is causing global warming.

Trapping infrared radiation (rising from the surface of the earth) keeps the atmosphere warm enough for life.

This is a bad thing!
