Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which by its very nature traps heat. There are many programs public and private trying to figure out ways to sequester or trap carbon dioxide. Some of those methods include conversion to sodium bicarbonate or something harmless, compression of the CO2 into salt mines deep into the earth or using a new methodology of algae sequestering. If we recycle or trap CO2 from the major emitters producing it then that would decrease the CO2 within the atmosphere.

How many years to recycle carbon dioxide?

None. Plants recycle carbon dioxide continuously.


Do plants recycle?

Plants recycle materials by breathing out oxygen. It is in some way like a trade. We breath out carbon dioxide, then they inhale carbon dioxide through their leaves, then exhale oxygen. So they recycle their materials by exhaling oxygen through their leaves.

Is it true that sunlight make it possible to recycle oxygen in the atmosphere?

Sort of, it's plants that recycle carbon dioxide back into oxygen and they need sunlight to do this.


How do prokaryotes recycle carbon?

Prokaryotes recycle carbon through processes like cellular respiration and photosynthesis. They break down organic matter to obtain carbon in various forms, helping to maintain nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Some prokaryotes can also fix carbon by converting carbon dioxide into organic compounds.


Why is there more carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere?

There is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now because we have been burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) for more than 200 years. This burning adds long-hidden carbon dioxide, so it is too much for the carbon cycle to completely recycle.


How can you remove global warming?

people need to recycle, and reduse carbon dioxide, reduce the amount of fossil fuels we use,

How can recycling cans help earth?

Recycling can help the Earth in many ways. If you recycle paper, you save trees, which in turn reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere and reduce global warming. Trees photosynthesise, where they take in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and give out oxygen. Carbon dioxide is the main reason for global warming as it traps the Sun's heat in Earth's atmosphere. If you recycle aluminum, you save energy, as it takes much less energy to melt cans into fresh aluminum. Most energy comes from electricity produced by burning coal, so you cut down on carbon dioxide. The same with glass.


In world oxygen is great or carbon dioxide is great?

While Carbon Dioxide is heavier than Oxygen (and therefore greater in mass) Oxygen is great for breathing in, in order to stay alive, while Carbon Dioxide is great because trees recycle it through photosynthesis and put out oxygen for humans and animals to keep breathing
