Carbon dioxide is produced as a by-product of the burning or combustion of almost all types of fuels, including gasoline, natural gas (methane) and coal. People have been burning a lot of these things, in recent centuries.
Because the carbon in fossil fuels has been out of circulation for 300 million years, releasing it now is overloading the carbon cycle, and causing the excess.
When burning fossil fuels increases, more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. This excess carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. It disrupts the natural carbon cycle by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and oceans, affecting ecosystems and weather patterns.
An rapid rise in Earth's average temperature caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is known as global warming. This excess carbon dioxide comes from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to an increase in temperatures worldwide.
The term for an abnormally rapid rise in Earth's average temperature caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is global warming.
The oceans and vegetation absorb a significant amount of the carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning fossil fuels, which reduces the overall increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, this absorption capacity is limited, and the excess carbon dioxide that remains in the atmosphere contributes to global warming and climate change.
Carbon Dioxide & Water, Complete burning with excess of oxygen gives out Carbon Dioxide(CO2) + Water , While incomplete burning with limited amount of oxygen gives out Carbon monoxide (CO) + Water
The amount of carbon in the atmosphere stays relatively constant through a balance of carbon sources and sinks. Natural processes, like photosynthesis and respiration, regulate the levels of carbon dioxide. However, human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, have disrupted this balance by releasing excess carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Excess, or additional carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere only by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and a very small amount from volcanic activity.All other carbon dioxide moves in and out of the oceans, atmosphere and land as part of the normal carbon cycle, which includes the growing and dying of vegetation.Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide that was taken out of the atmosphere (when the vegetation grew) 300 million years ago, so it is extra.

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water, forming carbonic acid. Only a certain amount can dissolve, however, because at a certain point the water is saturated. So the ocean can remove a certain amount of carbon dioxide from the air (becoming more acidic in the process) but it can't remove all of the excess that has been added.
- carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere: - part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by the biosphere - part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by body of waters

The phenomenon caused by an excess of carbon dioxide on Earth is known as global warming. This is due to the greenhouse effect, where carbon dioxide traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere leading to rising temperatures and changes in climate patterns.
