The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has varied over Earth's history due to natural processes like volcanic activity, changes in ocean circulation, and the growth and decay of plant life. However, the current levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are higher than they have been in at least 800,000 years, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This increase in carbon dioxide is contributing to global warming and climate change.
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.
Photosynthesis is the main process in the carbon cycle that decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into carbohydrates and oxygen. This helps to store carbon and reduce the overall concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The formation of coal removed carbon dioxide from the Earth's early atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. Plants absorbed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stored it in their tissues. When these plants died and were buried, the carbon they had absorbed remained trapped in the coal deposits, thus reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring compound in the atmosphere. Total amount has to be in the trillions of pounds. There is a more in depth answer at the link below.
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.
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
No, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere is much greater than the amount of carbon dioxide. The current levels of carbon dioxide are approximately 0.04% of the atmosphere, while oxygen levels are around 21%.

The atmosphere is very thin and is mostly made up of Carbon Dioxide.
When it erupts, it releases a large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, polluting it.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas which is causing Global Warming. When there is a great amount of it in the atmosphere, then it absorbs a great amount of heat. This makes Global Warming worse.
The present levels of carbon dioxide dioxide in the atmosphere are causing global warming and climate change.
Assuming you mean "carbon dioxide", the atmosphere of Venus is made up mainly of carbon dioxide.

The formation of seas and oceans helped to regulate the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by absorbing and storing it in the water. This process helped to reduce the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which contributed to creating a more stable climate on Earth.
