The Earth would be very cold.
Carbon is a byproduct of life. We are going to find it anywhere that life exists.
Ian Plimer, a well known climate sceptic, in his book "Heaven and Earth" says that the Earth would be 18degC ( 32.4 deg F) colder if there was no CO2 present in the atmosphere. So some CO2 is definitely a good thing!
However, The IPCC say that a doubling of Co2 levels to 560ppmv from 280ppmv, the pre-industrial level, and which will occur later this century on present trends, will cause a further warming of around 3 degC (5.4 deg F)
So maybe we can have too much of a good thing, and like Goldilocks, we should aim to get things just right. Not too little and not too much.
What else can I help you with?
Carbon is present in earth's atmosphere in the form of this gas?
Carbon is present in Earth's atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Is there more nitrogen or carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere?
There is much more nitrogen in earth's atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen forms about 79%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is?
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is the product of the reaction.
What is the percentage of Earth's atmosphere (by volume) that is carbon dioxide?
The Earth's atmosphere is approximately 79% Nitrogen, 20% Oxygen and 1% other gasses - including Argon, Neon and Carbon Dioxide.
Why is it important for the earth to have some carbon dioxide in its atmosphere?
The natural greenhouse effect (helped by carbon dioxide) keeps the earth warm.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (from too much carbon dioxide) is causing global warming.
Is carbon dioxide unique to earth?
Carbon Dioxide do exist in universe in places other than Earth.
Do trees help the earth?
they breath out oxygen for the humans and breath in carbon dioxide which helps the earth have less carbon dioxide
Is carbon in Earth's atmosphere?
carbon monixide, carbon dioxide, and plain carbon
What would happen if the insulating layer of carbon dioxide around the earth gets thicker?
There is no insulating LAYER of Carbon Dioxide round the Earth. The Carbon Dioxide is mixed up with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere and is not present in the atmosphere as a layer. If the absolute amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the Earth would get warmer.
Carbon is present in earth's atmosphere in the form of this gas?
Carbon is present in Earth's atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Where is most of earth carbon?
In the atmosphere, in the form of carbon dioxide
Starting billions of years ago algae lowered the levels in the atmosphere?
Carbon Dioxide
Is there more nitrogen or carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere?
There is much more nitrogen in earth's atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen forms about 79%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
What contain two main gases in earth gas?
oxygen/ carbon dioxide oxygen/ carbon dioxide
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is?
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is the product of the reaction.
Where is most of the Earth's carbon located in what form?
Most of the Earth's carbon is located in the atmosphere. It is in the form of carbon dioxide
Which planet has carbon dioxide and nitrogen?
EARTH
