∙ 9y agoBurning vegetation adds to the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. However, that carbon dioxide was recently removed from the air when the plants were growing, so burning vegetation is carbon neutral.Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), of course, releases extra carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for 300 million years.
Your question is somewhat garbled, but some of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in the ocean and forms carbonic acid. This has a moderating affect on the atmospheric concentration of CO2.
deforestation, the removal of trees in large quantities at a time, affects the world atmosphere in the following way: Trees are an organism that remove Carbon Dioxide from the air and therefore reduces the amount that gets into the atmosphere, acting as global warming. When deforestation occurs large amounts of Carbon Dioxide are then released into the air trough burning.# Also, the amount of CO2 that gets into the atmosphere will increase as there are less trees to remove it.
Burning fossil fuels affect the environment by releasing CO2 or carbon dioxide which creates an invisible blanket in Earth's atmosphere. The blanket traps the sun's rays making the planet's temperature increase. This is called the greenhouse effect. Deforestation removes the trees that were taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. So both things are contributing to global warming.
Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases carbon dioxide (and other gases). These change the composition of gases in the atmosphere. The present levels of carbon dioxide have increased from 280 ppm (parts per million) one hundred years ago to the present 400 ppm.
because it will release carbon dioxide in to the air
Burning fossil fuels adds carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere. This can raise global temperatures.
For one, it contributes to Ocean acidification.
Burning fossil fuels has released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. As a result, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. Some claim this results in global warming.
Burning anything releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, as most things are largely made of carbon. Burning vegetation is really part of the carbon cycle, but burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide that has been sequestered underground for 300 million years. This is why carbon dioxide levels are increasing in the atmosphere.
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. If levels of it in the atmosphere are higher than normal, then they trap more heat. This is causing global warming, and the world warming is causing changes in climate.

it affect s atmosphere by burning plastics.
Respiration, breathing, has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is part of the natural carbon cycle. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for millions of years. This extra gas is increasing in the atmosphere.
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
