Climate scientists all over the world agree that carbon dioxide is a dangerous greenhouse gas contributing to global warming and climate change. The danger come from the amount of additional CO2 that is released by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). The carbon in fossil fuels has been safely sequestered underground for 300 million years, and the earth's natural carbon cycle can't cope with the extra amount. It is the additional gas in the atmosphere that is capturing the sun's heat and causing the accelerated greenhouse effect.
