Does respiration decrease or increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Respiration (breathing) has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We take in carbon in our food and drink and we release it again when we breathe. If we eat too much, the extra carbon is stored in our bodies, making us fatter, in much the same way as a tree stores carbon in its wood as it grows.So breathing does not increase or decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.

What is an increase in CO2?
This means an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. There is a normal balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees and green plants soak it up, and then when the trees rot or are burnt the carbon dioxide goes back into the atmosphere. However, more than 200 years ago we began seriously burning coal and oil. This released carbon dioxide that had been trapped millions of years ago. So over the years the amount of this gas in the atmosphere has been increasing. Most climate scientists agree that this increase in carbon dioxide is contributing to climate change and global warming.
Since 1750 the amount of carbon dioxide in your atmosphere has increased by how much percent?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere in 1750 were between 275 and 280 ppm (parts per million). In 2012 they were 396 ppm. That is a percentage increase of more than 40%. (41.4%, 280 to 394; 43.2%, 275 to 394) See the co2now.org site below.
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

What is the problem with a small increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere?
A small amount of carbon dioxide is all it takes to keep the earth comfortably warm for millions of years. A small increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is all it takes to cause global warming and threaten the future of the human race.

What is the relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide and global temperature?
Increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is considered a factor that increase the global warming.
Does the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere go up every year?
Yes, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been increasing annually due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This increase in carbon dioxide is a significant driver of global climate change.
