The body usually generates over 50000 square feet of CO2 a week.
Nature though produces almost all of the CO2 produced annually. Rotting trees and matter that is alive or was once living produces CO2 naturally.
Combustion of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. We burn fossil fuels in industry, in transport, and largely in the generation of electricity.

How are the three major fossil fuels alike and how they are different?
The three main fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas.Alike:They are all non-renewableThey all emit carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases.They all cause global warming.Different:Coal is solid, and emits the most Carbon dioxide (CO2)Oil is liquid, and emits less carbon dioxide than coal.Natural gas is gas, and emits less carbon dioxide than any other fossil fuel.
How much carbon dioxide does each light bulb emit?
None. Light bulbs do not emit carbon dioxide. The electricity used to power the light bulb may have been produced by a method which emits carbon dioxide (then again, it may not have), but the bulb itself doesn't emit anything except heat and light.
Why does carbon dioxide naturally occur in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide occurs in various ways with the industrial processes being the main contributors. Transportation also emits carbon dioxide to the environment and that is why it is referred to as a necessary evil.
How much carbon dioxide does a truck emit?
It depends on the model. A typical truck emits 30 or more POUNDS of CO2 for 15-20 miles.
What emits carbon dioxide - CO2?
We humans, animals, plants during respiration, cars exaust, factories and many chemical reactions such as burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
What is a substance that emits carbon dioxide?
animal decaying would give off carbon dioxide
What US state emits the most carbon dioxide?

Are sport utility vehicles environmentally friendly?
Because an SUV gets relatively poor mileage, it is generally considered to be environmentally unfriendly. It burns a lot of gas, and emits a lot of carbon dioxide.
Would taking more flights reduce carbon dioxide?
Flying generally consumes fuel and therefore emits carbon dioxide. Even birds exhale more carbon dioxide when they are flying. Helium baloons can fly without emitting carbon dioxide, however.
How is carbon dioxide unloaded?
farts contain a lot of Carbon Dioxide.
What are the effect of bush burning in agricultural production?
It clears more land for agricultural production, but it also emits and releases a lot of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere.
Which fossil fuel has the highest contribution to carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere?
Coal is used most, and also emits most carbon dioxide pollution.
Do veins carry a lot of carbon dioxide?
Yes, veins carry alot of carbon dioxide.
Is coal better than natural gas?
Coal emits more carbon dioxide pollution than natural gas does.
