What is the result of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas. At present concentrations, it helps maintain global temperatures at a level that is comfortable for humans and other animals that have adapted to the present climate. Increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can result in global warming, by trapping more heat. This occurs when humans burn fossil fuels, manufacture cement of destroy forests.

∙ 11y agoCarbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which absorbs heat rising from the surface of the earth. If there is more of it, then it traps more heat, and the atmosphere gets warmer. This is called the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming and climate change.

What gas causes most scattering in Earth's atmosphere?
Methane is by far the most dangerous to our atmosphere, but it is not realeased in high quanties like Carbon dioxide. In result carbon Dioxide causes most scattering in the atmosphere
What is one key result of having carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere?
Warming of the surface.
What name is given to warming of the earth due to increased levels of carbon dioxide?
The warming of the earth due to increased levels of carbon dioxide is called the Greenhouse effect. Global warming is a result of the greenhouse effect.
Atmosohere and water which has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide?
Atmosphere has the higher concentration of carbon dioxide. If water had a high concentration of carbon dioxide then water would be acidic because it would result the formation of carbonic acid, but water is neutral. The fact that dissolved carbon dioxide create carbonic acid is used in the manufacture of Coca-Cola. So I think it is the atmosphere.
Where does carbon dioxide originate?
Carbon dioxide is the result of burning carbon or carbon containing materials.
What effect is enhanced on earth with increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere results in an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A decrease usually results in a decreased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Global warming is the result of increases in what?
Global warming is the result of increased levels of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, largely) in the atmosphere.
How would a planet have an all carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Such an atmosphere on a planet would be the result of carbon dioxide emitted from volcanoes.
How has the burning of fossil fuels affect the carbon cycle?
Burning fossil fuels has released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. As a result, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. Some claim this results in global warming.

What is deforestation a result of?
More carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
An increased rate of breathing as a result of an increased buildup of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream would be best described as an example of?

Do increased temperature result in decreased carbon dioxide unloading from hemoglobin?
False

What is one key result of having carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere?
Warming of the surface.
The extreme greenhouse conditions on this planet result from its dense atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide?
Venus
