The carbon content of the Earth's atmosphere has been increasing, particularly in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) but also in the form of methane (CH4) which will eventually burn and become more carbon dioxide. And, the carbon content of the ocean is also increasing since carbon dioxide has been dissolving in the ocean.

Why is Earth's atmosphere rich in nitrogen and carbon dioxide today?
Nitrogen has, since plants and animals have existed, been the majority of gases in our atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide; however, has been increasing in our atmosphere since the industrial revolution. The causes are automobiles, coal-burning power plants and other carbon-emitting activities.
Is it true or false that the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere has been increasing since 1900?
true
Why has the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere been steadily increasing since the mid-19th century?
cause of the the sausages
Why have carbon dioxide levels in the earth fallen?
Carbon dioxide levels have not fallen. They have been gradually increasing for the past 250 years when man began burning fossil fuels and cutting down trees. Since 1980 CO2 levels have increased more rapidly than ever before.
Is the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere decreasing or increasing?
Although many very smart astronomers have gone back and forth about this question, it is now generally believed that the rate of expansion of the universe in increasing, that is, it's expanding faster over time.
What is the name of phenomenon because of which the earth's atmospheric temperature is increasing?

When there are increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere it is causing a what of the earth's atmosphere?
An enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.

What impact does rising carbon dioxide have?
the carbon dioxide gas has a property of storing heat inside it for a considerable amount of time. hence when earth receives sunlight it is absorbed by this gas and it retains the heat increasing the temperature of the earth resulting in global warming.
How does using cold water than hot water save energy or help the earth?
it is increasing the amount of carbon dioxide each year

What is the main cause of the increasing greenhouse effect of the earth according to Al Gore?
Al Gore has stated:Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases extra carbon dioxide (CO2) that has been hidden away for millions of years under the earth. Carbon dioxide is a powerful greenhouse gas that is largely responsible for global warming.
Is the carbon atoms in your body have been on earth since it was first formed?
...maybe...
