∙ 11y ago
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere in 1750 were between 275 and 280 ppm (parts per million). In 2012 they were 396 ppm.
That is a percentage increase of more than 40%.
(41.4%, 280 to 394; 43.2%, 275 to 394)

How did earths atmosphere change during precambrian time?
The amount of oxygen increased greatly
What proof does the U.S. have that carbon dioxide levels have increased in the last 50 years?
We can measure the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Because carbon dioxide mixes well the measurement is about the same all over the world. Recently we have just reached 400 ppm (parts per million) or 0.04%.
How many pounds of carbon dioxide is in your 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.
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon force?
Respiration
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?
Respiration :)
What is the amount of gases that the atmosphere is made of?
Earth's atmosphere is made up of the following main gases: nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and argon. There also are minute amounts of neon, helium, and methane. The atmosphere contains about 78 percent nitrogen, 20 percent oxygen, 0.93 percent argon, and 0.039 percent carbon dioxide..
What effect is enhanced on earth with increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere results in an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A decrease usually results in a decreased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Has the amount of oxygen released into the atmosphere increased in recent years?
The amount of oxygen released into the atmosphere has not noticeably increased in recent years. The amount of oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere is about 21%. It is part of the earth's oxygen cycle, the main driver of which is photosynthesis. Vegetation removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, releases the oxygen (O2) and stores the carbon (C).
What happened to the amount of carbon dioxide from 1880 to 2010?
The amount is increased. Co2 is a greenhouse gas.
Burning these has increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Fossil fuel (oil and coal) consumption emits roughly 30 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year.
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as carbon dioxide?
Respiration :)

What planet with the greatest amount of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere?
earth
What is the amount of atmosphere on Mars?
The atmosphere is very thin and is mostly made up of Carbon Dioxide.
What would a volcano do to atmosphere?
When it erupts, it releases a large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, polluting it.
What happens when there is great amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
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.
