What is an increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor?
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
Which increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change?
Any increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change.
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to What?
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
What are two ways that the burning of rainforests leads to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide?
The burning of rainforests releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, as the combustion of anything does.When the rainforests are destroyed they no longer are able to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.Both these things lead to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Does carbon dioxide increase the greenhouse effect?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When we increase its atmospheric concentration, as we do by burning fossil fuels, it causes an enhanced greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.

Why is the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide less than the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning of fossil fuels?
Because trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
Is it true that increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide are largely due to the increased amount of aerobic respiration by plants and animals?
No. This is part of the carbon cycle, which is a closed system and does not increase or reduce the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. The only way to increase the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide is to bring carbon from outside that system. Volcanic eruptions can add a relatively small amount, but the main source of new carbon is from burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas.
Does carbon dioxide increase the greenhouse effect?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When we increase its atmospheric concentration, as we do by burning fossil fuels, it causes an enhanced greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.
What type of events can increase atmospheric carbon dioxide?
Humans burning coal, oil and natural gas increases atmospheric CO2.Deforestation, cutting down trees, means that less carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.Volcanic eruptions can put carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, but not nearly as much as fossil fuels.
What might decrease global atmospheric carbon dioxide?
There is no known way that humans can economically remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; all we can really do is reduce our emissions of carbon dioxide and slow down the rate at which atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are increasing. The surface waters of the ocean do absorb some carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as atmospheric carbon dioxide level increase, but there is little interchange betwen the warm upper ocean and the deep layers. However over a period of several thousand years, there is sufficient interchange to absorb large volumes of carbon dioxide, allowing the atmospheric concentration to return more or less to normal. Afforestation. Planting trees will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Why are atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide are expected to increASE doing the future?
Idk why don't you just google it dummy
