You see, carbon dioxide grow little arms and legs to dig and run with. they always do this because they hate sunlight.

Why do biofuels not contribute to global warming even though burning biofuels releases carbon dioxide?

Biofuels are part of the natural carbon cycle, in which plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and this becomes carbon which is eventually returned to the air when vegetation rots or is burnt, or when animals eat it and respire carbon dioxide back into the air. Thus, although burning of wood and biofuels does release carbon dioxide back into the air, this process does not add to the long term concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. When we create carbon dioxide from carbon that has been sequestered underground, we add new carbon dioxide to the air, increasing its concentration and causing global warming.


What gas is exhaled from the lungs?

carbon dioxide


Three ways carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere?

Through photosynthesis by plants and trees, which absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into oxygen. Carbon dioxide dissolves in the oceans, where it can be stored in marine organisms or sediments. Human activities such as carbon capture and storage, where carbon dioxide emissions are captured and stored underground to prevent them from entering the atmosphere.


Why is olive oil as a fuel said to be carbon neutral?

As the olive tree grows it takes in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, and gives out oxygen. When olive oil is burnt it gives out the carbon dioxide that it took in, so overall there is no net movement of carbon dioxide. - This is why it is said to be carbon neutral. "Carbon neutral" means generally that the activity adds no additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This is in comparison to the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which do add extra greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide which has been hidden underground for 300 million years).


Is carbon dioxide an element or carbon?

Carbon is an element, but not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen.


What is locked up carbon dioxide?

Locked up carbon dioxide refers to carbon dioxide that is trapped and stored underground in geological formations, preventing it from being released into the atmosphere. This process, known as carbon capture and storage, helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.


What has been the major cause of the change in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere?

The major cause of the change in levels is the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases extra carbon dioxide that has been hidden underground for millions of years, and it is this extra CO2 that is causing global warming.


What gas is produced by respiration?

Carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct of cellular respiration in organisms, including humans and animals. During respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy, water, and carbon dioxide.


Can carbon dioxide be made useless?

No, but it can be 'sequestered,' or made inert by bonding with something not atmospheric; icebergs, underground petroleum deposits, etc.


In the last 100 years what has added excess carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?

Power PlantsMachineryCarsThe burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas, which releases extra carbon dioxide that has been underground for 300 million years.
