Why is the amount of carbon dioxide produced expected to increase even more?

Because humans have been:
- Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases carbon that had been buried safely underground for 300 million years.
- Deforestation. Cutting down trees which used to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Human Activity is the primary reason for increase in carbon dioxide levels in the Atmosphere. These activities include:
- Burning coal for energy production
- Automobiles
- Deforestation - Destruction of trees and forests
- Industry
- Hydrocarbons used in refrigerators and other machines

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.
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
What is the reaction when mixing Baking soda and vinegar?
Carbon dioxide is produced. The amount of baking soda to vinegar control the amount of CO2 that is produced.
How do you increase the amount of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in soda?
Shake it
Approximately what percent does Central America contribute to the total amount of carbon dioxide produced in the world?
0.5% of the world's carbon dioxide produced comes from Central America.
What increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon dioxide?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.
Why does putting dry ice in water increase the amount of gas produced?
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, which sublimes (goes directly from a solid to a gas). So it releases the gas as it sublimes.
What should you do to increase the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in the solution?
add oxygen
Which increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon sources?
Respiration :)
Which increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Respiration :)
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would greatly increase if there were fewer?
Forests.
