Respiration: All animals breathe out carbon dioxide, but this is part of the carbon cycle.
Volcanic Eruptions: These give off massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide, but humans add the same amount with three days of fossil fuel emissions.
Combustion: Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2), is the main process increasing CO2 levels.

- The production of cement. Thirty tons of cement produces 26 tons of carbon dioxide.

Do the ozone hole increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Indirectly yes. It causes global warming, which increases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Which increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Respiration :)
Does cyanobacteria increase the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
true
Is sun spot cycles or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more important for global warming?
Carbon dioxide. The increase of carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.
What caused the increase in carbon dioxide in your atmosphere over the last 150 years?
The increase in carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere over the last 150 years was due to mankind's burning of fossil fuels.
What will not increase the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Not burning carbon compounds.
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Do the ozone hole increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Indirectly yes. It causes global warming, which increases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What is the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the biggest contributor to?
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
Which increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Respiration :)
Which increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon sources?
Respiration :)
Does cyanobacteria increase the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
true
Which processes in the carbon cycle decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Plants and trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also absorbs carbon dioxide, so much now that it is becoming more acidic.
What would lead to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Continuing to burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) would lead to an increase in carbon dioxide levelsbecause we are adding long-buried carbon to the atmosphere and the carbon cycle is unable to cope with this extra amount.Natural sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide include volcanic outgassing, the combustion of organic matter, and the respiration processes of living aerobic organisms.Man-made sources of carbon dioxide include the burning of fossil fuels for heating, power generation and transport, as well as some industrial processes such as cement making.
Is sun spot cycles or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more important for global warming?
Carbon dioxide. The increase of carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.
Does clearing a forest increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Yes because trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide and store the carbon.
What caused the increase in carbon dioxide in your atmosphere over the last 150 years?
The increase in carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere over the last 150 years was due to mankind's burning of fossil fuels.
