Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, that is, it has more than two atoms and so is able to capture the sun's heat as it radiates off the earth. So the carbon dioxide warms up and in turn, warms the surrounding air.

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.
