The gas levels in the atmosphere have remained relatively consistent over the last 200 years due to natural processes that regulate atmospheric composition, such as photosynthesis, respiration, and ocean absorption. Human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have introduced more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, but these have been somewhat balanced by natural sinks. Additionally, the Earth's systems, including the carbon cycle, have mechanisms that help stabilize gas concentrations over time. However, a gradual increase in greenhouse gas levels is notable, raising concerns about climate change.
The atmosphere has the same amount of oxygen today as it did 1000 years ago. Although oxygen gets used up in various ways, through fire and through metabolism, oxygen is constantly being released into the atmosphere by green plants.

The main reason for the doubling of CO2 levels in the atmosphere over the last 100 years is human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities release large amounts of CO2 that were previously stored underground back into the atmosphere, leading to the increase in CO2 concentrations.
Well, friend, the amount of oxygen in our atmosphere has actually remained quite stable over the past few decades. Mother Nature has a way of balancing things out, so you can breathe easy knowing that the air you're breathing is just as oxygen-rich as it was 20 years ago. Just take a deep breath and appreciate the beauty of our world around you.
Depending on how far back, the atmosphere has changed. Around the cooling of the Earth, it would mostlikely contain large amounts of sulphur, methane and other volatile gases, coming straight from lava flows.
Oxygen makes up about 21% of Earth's atmosphere by volume. This level has remained fairly consistent over millions of years due to the balance of oxygen-producing and oxygen-consuming processes in the environment.
Lower .
No. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere 2000 years ago were around 280 ppm (parts per million) and remained around that level till about 1800, when we started burning coal. Levels now (2013) are approaching 400 ppm.

The composition of Earth's atmosphere has remained relatively stable over the past 100 years, with oxygen making up about 21% of the air. However, human activities like deforestation and burning fossil fuels have increased carbon dioxide levels, which can indirectly impact oxygen levels through changes in the carbon cycle and ecosystems.
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere remained relatively stable between the years 1000 and 1800 at around 280 parts per million (ppm). This period is often referred to as the pre-industrial era, before significant human activities started to impact the global carbon dioxide levels.
About the same. About a half billion years ago it was significantly higher, and more than a billion years ago it was lower, much lower. Before 1.5 or 2 billion years ago there was no free oxygen in the atmosphere, before 3 billion years ago there wasn't any.

The amount of oxygen released into the atmosphere has not noticeably increased in recent years. The amount of oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere is about 21%. It is part of the earth's oxygen cycle, the main driver of which is photosynthesis. Vegetation removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, releases the oxygen (O2) and stores the carbon (C).
