What causes carbon dioxide to level in the atmosphere?

Levels of carbon dioxide are maintained when the amount of carbon dioxide being absorbed by the oceans and plant life equals the amount of carbon dioxide created by all natural and man made sources. When these sources exceed the ability to absorb, the levels go up. The major threat to this equilibrium is, of course, the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which releases carbon dioxide hidden away for millions of years.

Does Carbon Dioxide come from planes?

obviously, if an EasyJet plane lifts of, it releases carbon dioxide from the engine, which gets released into the air, & that causes the earth to warm up, and then it will be the end of the world! NOTE: carbon dioxide is not produced by planes, so if it is the production of carbon dioxide, the answer is no, but it comes from fossil fuel, I think.
