The burning of fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere hundreds of millions of years ago.

Other carbon dioxide sources include volcanoes, bush fires, . The decaying of dead plants and animals also releases carbon dioxide and methane. Carbon dioxide is released by cellular respiration in plants (at night) and from all living animals. The production of waste CO2 by microscopic animals in the ocean is a substantial amount.

What are the 3 natural sources of greenhouse gases?

Three natural sources of greenhouse gases include volcanic eruptions, which release carbon dioxide and other gases; wetlands, which produce methane through the decomposition of organic material in anaerobic conditions; and forest fires, which emit carbon dioxide and other pollutants as vegetation burns. Additionally, oceans play a role by absorbing and releasing carbon dioxide, contributing to the overall greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. These sources are part of the Earth's natural carbon cycle.
