No, the concentration is actually rising. We are burning too much fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and we are cutting down too many forests.

What scientists study lightning Can I have a specific Name of someone who studies lightning and is currently alive?

Scientists who study lightning are known as atmospheric scientists or atmospheric physicists. An example of a scientist who studies lightning and is currently alive is Prof. V. Philip Benning from the University of Leeds, UK.


Are tornadoes decreasing due to global warming?

Currently scientists are uncertain as to how global warming would affect tornadoes. This is further complicated by a lack of complete, long-term tornado records. So far no substantial link has been discovered.


What measurement helps check the ecological issue of global warming that the world is currently facing?

One measurement used to assess the ecological issue of global warming is the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane. These gases trap heat and contribute to the warming of Earth's climate. Monitoring these concentrations over time provides valuable information about the extent of human activities impacting the climate.


Why is the climate currently warming?

The climate is currently warming primarily due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to an increase in global temperatures.


What is ppm for CO2 emissions?

Ppm stands for parts per million. It is a way of showing the amount of one substance in another, like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, especially when the percentage number is small. For example, in July 2011, the amount of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere was 392.39 ppm (or 0.039239%).

How much carbon is there in the air?

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere is currently around 415 parts per million (ppm), which equates to approximately 0.0415% of the air by volume. This concentration has been steadily increasing due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels.

What is the biggest problem in the world today?

Global warming currently poses the biggest long term threat to the global economy. This is the result of air pollution primarily from the consumption of fossil fuels. Many people view CO2 greenhouse gas emissions as innocuous, or relatively harmless, and so we continue increasing the atmospheric concentration. Lack of respect is another problem in this world.


Is there a limit that the existing atmosphere cannot sustain life because of to much carbon dioxide?

Yes, but the upper maximum for atmospheric carbon dioxide sustaining life is pretty high. The more interesting question is, what is the upper maximum for atmospheric carbon dioxide that is compatible with sustaining human life - this is probably somewhere in the range of 500-600 ppm. We are currently at about 393 ppm and the concentration is still rising rapidly.Prior to the rise of land animals, there was an explosion of plants that evolved and took advantage of a very high atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. When these plants originally evolved, it took a great deal of time for the pathogens and saprophytes to evolve the ability to break them back down. The resulting accumulations of carbon-rich material in the sedimentary layers of the earth, from these plants that died and were not broken down and recycled, is where humans are now deriving fossil fuels (crude oil, natural gas) from.
