The human race as a whole (this encompasses all industry, and all other human activity) is only responsible for 0.28% of CO2 emissions. 95% is water vapor; the ocean evaporates, we can't stop that. The other 4.72% is biological factors, farting, breathing, animals dying, etc.

To answer your question, developing nations such as India (being the highest) are surprisingly more responsible for this minuscule output. This is because first-world nations such as the United States employ practices such as clean coal, and nuclear energy (these being more efficient than garbage like wind power).

However, to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide, and pollutant particles in the air would be to kill us all. Plants require carbon dioxide for photo and chemosynthesis, and a byproduct of these cycles is oxygen. The pollutants on the other hand, reflect light and radiation from the sun. No pollutants means we burn to death, and less CO2 means we suffocate.

What is the percentage composition of silicon dioxide?

Silicon dioxide is composed of 46.7% silicon and 53.3% oxygen by mass.


What process was primarily responsible for the development of the present percentage of free oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere?

The process primarily responsible for the development of the present percentage of free oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere is photosynthesis. This process is carried out by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, which convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose with the help of sunlight. Over time, this has led to the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere to its present level of around 21%.


What is the percentage of Earth's atmosphere (by volume) that is carbon dioxide?

The Earth's atmosphere is approximately 79% Nitrogen, 20% Oxygen and 1% other gasses - including Argon, Neon and Carbon Dioxide.


What is the primary gas in the atmosphere responsible for the greenhouse effect?

Water Vapor is the gas that is largely responsible for the natural greenhouse effect that has warmed the earth for millions of years.Carbon dioxide is the gas that is largely responsible for the present accelerated greenhouse effect that is causing global warming.


Which organ is responsible for regulating the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in body fluids?

The lungs are primarily responsible for regulating the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in body fluids through the process of gas exchange. When you exhale, carbon dioxide is removed from your body, helping to maintain the balance of gases in your bloodstream and tissues.

Is ozone depletion an activity that is responsible for the largest percentage of human-made carbon dioxide emissions?

Actually the questions must be the other way round that is the largest percentage of human-made carbon dioxide emissions responsible for ozone depletion. But still carbon dioxide is not the only reason for the ozone depletion. Various other factors such as freons, CFC's etc are responsible for ozone depletion.


What is the total percentage of argon and carbon dioxide?

The total percentage of argon and carbon dioxide depends on their individual concentrations. To calculate the total percentage, simply add their individual percentages together. For example, if argon is 1% and carbon dioxide is 5%, the total percentage of both gases would be 6%.


What percentage of the earth is made of carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04% of Earth's atmosphere by volume. However, it plays a crucial role in the Earth's climate system and is a greenhouse gas responsible for trapping heat in the atmosphere.
