Scientists are concerned with carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorocarbons gases in the air. These gases contribute to the " Greenhouse Effect" (Global Warming) and they are blanketing the Earth and keeping it about 33 degrees warmer than it would be without these gases in the atmosphere. Basically meaning the earth is warming up. Glaciers and polar ice caps appear to be melting, floods and droughts are becoming more severe, and sea levels are rising. Many animals are losing there natural habitats and/or dying.
We can help stop global warming here's a website that may help.

What else can I help you with?
What is carbon monoxides chemical equation?
The chemical formula for Carbon monoxide is CO and the equation that would result in its formation would be 2C + O2 = 2CO.
Name the carbon compound produced in 2C6H14 13O2- 12CO 14H2O?
12 carbon monoxides due to lack of enough oxygen when it was being formed
What four things are released when fuel is burned?
energy, water, carbon dioxide and sometimes (if incomplete combustion) some carbon monoxides and nitrous oxides (if there are impurities)
Why are scientists concerned about carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels like petrol?
Scientists are concerned about carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels because it is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and climate change. Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat, leading to rising global temperatures, melting ice caps, more extreme weather events, and other environmental impacts. Reducing carbon dioxide emissions is essential to combat climate change and its associated risks.
Are scientists most concerned about the gases that have increased by the greatest percentage?
Carbon dioxide (CO2). This is the one that is largely contributing to global warming, and it's the one that we can possibly do something about, by reducing our burning of fossil fuels and by stopping deforestation. Other greenhouse gases are more powerful, like methane, but the amount so far is small compared with CO2.
As scientists search the universe for signs of life on other planets they are likely to focus on the presence of molecules containing which of the following elements?
Scientists are likely to focus on the presence of molecules containing elements such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen, as these are key building blocks of life as we know it. These elements are essential for the formation of organic compounds like amino acids, nucleic acids, and lipids, which are crucial for life processes.
Particles of carbon what enters the air when wood and coal are burned are called?
Particles of carbon that enter the air when wood and coal are burned are called soot or particulate matter. These tiny particles can contribute to air pollution and have harmful effects on human health and the environment.
What is 14C?
14 atoms of carbon.
Does the pH increase with the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2)?
Yes, the pH decreases with the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2).
The word organic signals the presence of what molecule?
Carbon
Why are many scientists concerned about humans adding large amounts of carbon to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels?
Because the addition of extra carbon to the atmosphere is putting a load on the carbon cycle that is impossible to carry. The carbon cycle is not able to remove the extra CO2 which remains in the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas, absorbing more and more heat. This is causing global warming.
Scientists who are concerned about increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere believe global warming is caused by?
... the burning of fossil fuels, which is adding extra carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
