How much carbon is put into the atmosphere each year by fossil fuel combustion?

Approximately 37.1 billion metric tons of CO2 are released into the atmosphere each year from fossil fuel combustion, accounting for the majority of anthropogenic carbon emissions.


How does too much CO2 in the atmosphere effect the climate?

CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere will make the climate hotter because it acts like a 'greenhouse' or blanket as it insulates heat in the atmosphere. CO2 allows heat to pass into the atmosphere but it doesn't allow heat to pass out into space. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere would trap the heat in the atmosphere, causing climate change.


What is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 desolves easily in it?

The main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere is the world's oceans. As CO2 dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, which can then be stored in the ocean or released back into the atmosphere. This process plays a crucial role in regulating the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere.


CO2 makes up what percentage of atmosphere?

CO2 makes up approximately 0.03% of Earth's atmosphere


How does the ocean affect the rate of accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere?

Oceans act as a carbon sink, in fact they are the largest carbon sink absorbing about 1/4 of the CO2 we put into the air. However, with global warming considering that CO2 dissolves better in cold water there is a worry that the oceans will not be able to hold as much CO2 and will begin to release it into the atmosphere

Is the Carbon dioxide changing by the same amount each year?

The current level of CO2 in our atmosphere is 390 parts per million. We are now releasing CO2 at astonishing rates into our atmosphere, so to answer your question no. More Carbon Dioxide is being put into our atmosphere each year. There is an average, but that has gone up in the past few decades.

How much CO2 will be produced by boiling a kettle each time?

Boiling a kettle typically releases around 0.15 kg (150 grams) of CO2 into the atmosphere each time, mostly from the energy it consumes during the boiling process.


What fraction of the earths atmosphere is carbon mioxide?

Earth's atmosphere is about 0.035% CO2. Since the atmosphere is just a thin layer of gas surrounding the earth, CO2 is a much, much smaller fraction of the earth itself.


How much CO2 does a train give off each mile?

a train run by coal emits mono and dioxides of carbon into atmosphere. on an avg a train going at 60 miles an hour emits .5 tonne of co2.


Does CO2 sink or rise in the atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) rises in the atmosphere.


Who's atmosphere is mostly CO2?

Both Mars and Venus have atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide. The atmosphere of Venus is much denser.
