Why should people worry about carbon dioxide getting released into the air?

People should worry because a very little carbon dioxide (CO2) goes a long way in keeping the earth warm. For thousands of years 0.028% of CO2 has kept the earth warm enough for life. Levels are now at 0.04%, much higher, from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This extra gas is causing global warming and climate change.

Where does the plant get carbon dioxide from?
It's in the air and we exhale carbon dioxide.A small percentage of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is released by the metabolic processes of organisms, and by our burning of fuels. In recent decades, the amount of carbon dioxide has increased so much, some scientists believe maintaining the current amount of carbon dioxide will devastate Earth's climate. Actually, today there were festivals held all over the world to make people aware of this issue. See http://www.350.org/
What happens if plants get too much carbon dioxide?
The plants would have a harder time growing. Carbon Dioxide is similar for plants as Oxygen is for people. However, plants can often adapt to changes in "air quality" much better then people can.
What do people breathe in from plants?
Oxygen - we give plant carbon dioxide
Which is better carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide?
Carbon dioxide is way better than carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide is taken when some thing is burned. Combustion is a reaction which gives out energy as heat. When a flame develops it is called burning. When incomeplete combustion happens carbon monoxide is given out and not carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide is very dangerous. It has no small or coulous so it enters our lungs with out us knowing and bloacks out breathing. Many people died from this.
What gas do people breathee in and what do they breathe out?
We breathe in oxygen and we breathe out carbon dioxide
When people burn fossil fuels is the carbon released as oxygen?
No, it is released as carbon dioxide and water.
Is carbon dioxide breathed in by people and released as oxygen?
No, it is the other way round, people breath in Oxygen (O2) and breath out Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
Do threadmills release CO2?
Treadmills operate by muscle force. Muscles are powered by the conversion of sugars to energy and carbon dioxide. More energy is used and more carbon dioxide is released when people exercise. People exhale the carbon dioxide. So treadmill use results in the emission of more carbon dioxide than would be released by a person at rest.
What role do carbon dioxide play in the carbon dioxide oxygen cycle?
animals and people breath out carbon dioxide and plants use carbon dioxide
Can carbon dioxide make people sick?
Carbon dioxide is a waste product breathed out by living animals. Excessive intake of carbon dioxide can lead to carbon dioxide poisoning.

How are people adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere's?
People are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. I believe
Do cars pollute the air or people?
Both. Cars emit Hydrocarbons + Nitrogen Oxides + Carbon Dioxide + Carbon Monoxide. People emit Methane and Carbon Dioxide.
If we cut down tropical rain forest will it produce carbon dioxide?
No it won 't. Carbon dioxide is from the trees. If people cut down trees we won't have carbon dioxide.
What do people breathe in when they inhale?
Carbon Dioxide?
Can carbon dioxide hurt people?
no not necessarily.
What gas do people exhale?
Carbon Dioxide.
