In the Apollo 13 mission, too much carbon dioxide built up in the spacecraft due to a malfunctioning air filtration system. This posed a serious threat to the crew's health by reducing the oxygen levels and causing potential asphyxiation. The crew had to improvise and create a makeshift device to scrub the carbon dioxide from the air to ensure their survival.

No one says the line "Houston, we have a problem" in real life. John Swigert said "Houston, we've had a problem" But in the film Apollo 13, the producers changed the line to "Houston, we have a problem". Another reason not to believe too much in Hollywood movies.

Name two greenhouse gases that you produce too much of?

Carbon dioxide (CO2): We produce too much CO2 by burning fossil fuels (coal to make electricity, and oil for heating and transport.Methane (CH4): We produce too much CH4 by raising cattle. Cattle belching and manure release the gas, twenty-one times more powerful than CO2.

What are the signs of too much CO2 in plants and how can they be identified?

Signs of too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in plants include stunted growth, yellowing or browning of leaves, and reduced fruit or flower production. This can be identified through visual inspection of the plant's overall health and growth patterns, as well as by measuring the levels of CO2 in the surrounding environment using a CO2 monitor.
